Bob kelly getting us around, thank you. 5 02. Happening today. It is a problem plaguing the city. Talking about those road towing companies. And this morning, city council could be ready to crackdown. See what theyre do. Right out to steve keel to explain what could happen, steve . Steve is speechless this morning when it talks to coming talking about the towing companies. Well fix that problem, have me . Just a bit. Breaking news, it is coming up on 53 03. Weve had another gunfire errupting in a major intersection, in philadelphia. And we know that someone right now is in Critical Condition because of all of that. A 59 year old man is in the hospital after being struck by a bullet. This is happening, it happened, north 52nd street and haverford. About midnight. Police are searching for two gunmen, they think this is a drive by. It happened, right now, alleged gunman who shot and killed a teen in mayfair charged with murder and robbery. Nineteen year old sam ear price arraigned wednesday. Police say he shot 14 year oley and willsy last week, taking place on brouse street trying to rob him. Price turned himself into police on tuesday. There is robbery suspect of an atm being held this morning on 50,000 cash bail. Prosecute remembers charging that guy, his name patrick urso. Apparently he held up woman at the Navy Federal Credit union route 38 near the her i chill mall. Approached the woman from behind while at the outdoor machine and got away with her money. Lets get back to steve keeley talking about these problems, the towing wars that were seeing here, there could be a solution with the city council. Hi, steve. Reporter you guys have to practice your lip reading skills apparently. Not there yet. Reporter well look weve got beautiful shot for you, the city skyline, postcard picture, but the picture in the for grounds in the dark, underneath, greg will move to the left, underneath the vine street expressway. The dark dingy, the fence all busted up, you see the tow trucks, not wait to go tow some innocent people there. Just in case the morning rush hour has an accident, and they can clear that up. So they do provide a valuable service, and they think theyre getting pick on. But council, among those, who they say are picking on them, because at 10 00 this morning, councils propose agnew towing law in philadelphia, before any vehicle can get towed, anywhere, even off private property. Parking lots are someones driveway at their house it, would first have to get an official parking ticket from either the Philadelphia Police or the philly Parking Authority, because those two would then know why a vehicle should not be there or should not be towed away in the first place, at great expense, after that initial great fear that you had your car stolen. Because a lot of people are complaining to council that, hey, i park legally, and my car was towed. I was out for a night. I was at a so. I was at a clon. I was at a restaurant. Why was my car towed . So council is saying that theyve gotten so many complaints this year, theyve got to do something. So theyre proposing this new law in philadelphia, to crackdown because they say the number of tow trucks operating illegally or un ethically in philly is way up. They want to reform the towing company. They want to get them all ledge it. Do you think that needs that, and why . I think, yes. It needs to be more information given to us, before we get towed, and i know you said dont put a ticket on our car. But how long would they give us to move the car before the ticket happens . So, just little bit more information about when, where, how we can avoid the situation, would be helpful. These are basically car pirates who go out and steel peoples cars off the street. Theyve been doing it for awhile. Do you think something needs to be done to these towing companies . I think theyre a tad aggress enough some cases. Well, maybe the biggest name in the towing business in philadelphia, lew blum. Youve seen the name on so many parking lot walls everywhere saying if you dont belong here, your car is going to get towed from here you can find it by calling lew blum at this number. Lew himself wrote this long elegant letter to council, plans to be here along with other tow operators. Among the things he wrote to council, hey, and he apologized allotment admitted every once tow guys are the bad guys they provide valuable service, we move vehicles that are blocking other citizens, business owners, from going to work or parking in their customary designated areas. He says it is easy to hate up us, and i understand that, but he said could be compromised solution and is going to provide that today. So interesting day at council. See if anybody at the Council Hearing gets towed away while theyre actually attending the towing hearing. That will would be interesting. Wouldnt it . Were not talking about blum here, but in some cases, we dont see the is sign, suddenly when you park the sign goes up . Look, i used to feel sorry for people. I lived on Washington Square before it was the happening place. I would walk my day. Every day the philadelphia parking thought would have eight tow trucks standing by at 4 00. I would watch people park. I would warn them even though putting money in the meter you cant read these signs, theyll tow you away because they got to clear the roads out to make it a long good one way strip for everybody to get out every town at the end of the day for rush hour. So people were getting towed away and they were like why was i towed . I just put money in the meter. That will would be awful to see. That wasnt private operators, that was Parking Authority. So i wonder if people will be complaining about the Parking Authority too who has a hands in this whole towing mess. Hopefully well see some reform, steve, thanks. In other news right now.
