Also those laws are absolutely applicable to tow companies that tow off of private property. That’s the whole point of them. “The amended Act regulates tows from private property, and tows initiated by law enforcement, without the prior consent of the vehicle’s owner or operator.”

If this is something that has been going on for many years, then I will take your word for it, I almost never go to ShopRite or Target so I would not know. The recent uptick of posts like this on the Reddit made me think this is a recent and new issue. However, it doesn’t mean the tows aren’t illegal.

Why would you assume that? Something like tow signs are often overlooked.

Doesn’t address any of the other issues raised, I.E inadequate signage, charging above the maximum permitted decoupling fee, they could also still be cruising for cars. Not sure why you are going to bat for the tow company here.

NJ has strict laws that towing companies must abide by. Based on OP saying that ShopRite said they do not own the parking lot and combined with the other similar posts of this nature where OPs complain about this happening in the same area indicates to me that a towing company is “Trolling (cruising) for vehicles parked without authorization;” explicitly prohibited by law. Also, there are strict requirements for signage that are also outlined. I don’t know if Shboprite complies with them though. This seems like something that would be worth bringing to the attention of the city council. It sounds like a towing company is praying on residents.

I agree that fighting it in court is probably not worth 180 dollars but if we can get this towing company to stop doing this it would be a win for residents.

Sounds like there is a tow company around that area waiting for people to park in a store lot then not go to the store, then charging people 180$ to not tow their car. Can this be reported to ombudsman/city council/police? This is certainly unscrupulous business practices by the towing company. Did you get the name of the towing company by chance?

EDIT: I don’t often go to the shoprite but there has to be conspicuous signage if they want to enforce towing for shopping at other businesses. I don’t recall seeing any such signage when I was last there. If there is no signage I would be happy to help draft an email to city council and JCPD.

People in this sub think that Amy DeGise accidentally hitting a biker who ran a red light is worse than the holocaust.

Sometimes. Most stuff put with “non recyclables” gets sent to an incinerator anyways which is better than landfill.

If anything you said was true NJT wouldn’t be as terrible as it is

You have to hire a carting company to have it done professionally. Small jobs can just be put in the kitchen garbage

PATH is way better in the hands of the port authority compared to NJT

Yes this is a scam

The difference is marginal. It will depend on how frequent you are in the office. Honestly your best bet is to just try a few options and stick with whichever you prefer. There’s no right answer to this question.

I like the bus because I really enjoy not having to transfer. Some people prefer the PATH because it’s (depending on destination) faster.

No. Contact an agent who can help you.

Light rail also covers a longer distance in a shorter amount of time compared to NYC subway. If I’m going to midtown sometimes I take the HBLR to Lincoln harbor and then grab the bus to PABT. Usually faster than PATH to WTC and then 1 train.

More evidence that progressives are absolutely unhinged and people should not vote for them.

You are stupid for not going through insurance. Your recourse is simple to just ignore him.

NJ law permits display of front plate on dashboard

This sounds like a you problem.

This is not an issue unique to New Jersey. 900 in my opinion is not worth pursuing. If you really want you can wait until you’ve secured a lease prior to bringing a case against your former landlord.

You can file a claim in small claims court. $900 dollars is not enough money to make it worthwhile to pursue litigation. Note that if you sue your landlord it will appear on your background check when you apply to rent future apartments and you will be automatically denied.

Sometimes I look out the front of the light rail and I have seen conductors go on a horizontal bar at an intersection. (Horizontal bar tells train to stop at crossing vertical says to go)

EDIT. Upon closer inspection it appears the operator ran through a signal telling them to stop, you can see a horizontal bar in this image.

If anyone knows about the hiring process/what they look for for either commuter or light rail I would appreciate PM.

The roads here are pretty good compared to the ones in nyc that I’ve seen.

I hardly ever ride the midtown line, are those stations not accessible?

At least it’s something. NYC subway only has elevators in some stations
