Montgomery County Targets Takeover Crowds and Vehicles

Montgomery County is addressing vehicle takeovers with two different tools: a fine aimed at the people involved and towing aimed at the vehicles used in the event.

Two separate targets

The fine is directed at the crowd or participants connected to a takeover. Towing deals with the car, creating a separate consequence for the vehicle involved.

That distinction is the central point of the county’s approach. One action addresses conduct by people, while the other removes a vehicle from the scene or from use.

What is established

The policy involves a fine and vehicle towing. The materials available for this brief do not establish the date of adoption, the name of the county body that approved the measure, the circumstances of a particular takeover, or how the county will enforce it.
