Atlanta businesses are turning to private booting companies to punish drivers who violate parking rules, but residents and politicians agree that the practice has gotten out of hand

Politicians are also attempting to respond to the rise in booting. At both the city and state level, efforts have been made to ban the practice. Georgia State Senator Josh McLaurin said that it attempted to create regulations for booting five years ago, but lost support from the companies profiting off it, and that it later failed to pass.

However, that may be a false dichotomy. According to McLaurin, there are “all kinds of different alternatives,” such as tickets, controlled access, in addition to towing and booting, which could help ease tensions.
