A report out Monday found that the San Diego Police Department loses some $2 million a year on its towing program and that poor people's cars are confiscated much more often.
Over the last five years, more than a quarter of all tows led to owners giving up their car instead of paying the fines.
The audit recommended that city officials look at several ways to reduce the impact on people, such as reducing the fees or employing alternatives such as placing boots on vehicles. While the number of vehicles towed by the city has been declining in recent years — from 28,000 in 2017 to about 17,000 last year — the number of people who do not get their cars back is significant.
Councilwoman Vivian Moreno noted that 45 percent of the tows happened in Council District 8, which she represents.
