Milwaukee, WI - On Wednesday, Wisconsin State Senator Lena C. Taylor (D-Milw.) who opposes a boot system (immobilization device) in the City of Milwaukee reported that Mayor Tom Barrett and the City of Milwaukee are once again lobbying to pass State Assembly Bill 2 and State Senate Bill 4 relating to motor vehicle immobilization devices for statewide use. The boot device or mechanism immobilizes a motor vehicle by locking around a wheel, thereby making the motor vehicle inoperable, according to the state bills.
If both bills are passed in the state legislature, it would authorize a county, municipality, or university to enter into a contract with a person that authorizes the person to immobilize motor vehicles.
A S-Government Operations, Technology and Consumer Protection Important Actions committee hearing concerning SB 4 was held on Tuesday.
Senator Taylor was instrumental in previously killing the boot device bill when it was covertly introduced by Mayor Barrett and is working to do so once again. "I don't like the boot system. I killed it once and would love to kill it again. I only know ONE person that has lobby for this - Mayor Barrett," Sen. Taylor posted on her Facebook account.
The City of Chicago in Illinois uses the boot to immobilized vehicles for traffic infractions.
