Business Owner Charged for Police Response | Detroit News
Description
A business owner in Eastpointe was slapped with an $776.49 bill for police response after a crash — not for towing or repairs, but because she’s a non-resident and the city’s 2010 ordinance holds at-fault drivers liable for emergency costs. Despite paying taxes and owning local businesses, she calls it a “strong-armed robbery,” sparking outrage over cities nickel-and-diming contributors. City officials defend the policy as a way to offset emergency costs, noting insurance usually covers it — but the police chief is reviewing the program. Bottom line: drive safe when you’re in Eastpointe.
