About me

Go for it. Chances are they double booted you to prevent this exact reason. Keep in mind that they have likely recorded your plate number so they will call the police as they find your car and their boot(s) no longer on the property. Always leave the boots in the exact same parking space that you found them and contact the booting company to tell them where they are so they don't issue a police report in your name. Yes, stealing their boots is considered a crime, don't risk it.

If you self-remove a boot you have to be aware of the law. Its a risk you have to ask yourself if your willing to take:

"Short answer, YES and NO. They can technically charge you with a misdemeanor if you damage or steal the equipment. The booting company can and likely will press criminal charges for theft of services if you do not leave the boots in perfect working condition in the exact parking spot that you were booted in.

Never take the boot with you or damage the boots in any way. They can and will likely file criminal charges if you tamper with or steal their boots. Sometimes its easier to just pay the $75 boot removal fine if you are truly worried about a criminal record in Georgia. 

Remember, They have a picture of your plate #, Vin number and have proof that the car was booted. 

Police stance on using boot keys:

The booting company likely took a picture of your license plate and vin number so they will probably file a police report. You will have an immediate warrant for your arrest if you committed the actual crime of destruction of private property. 

It is never worth the time or energy to self remove the boot with out a key. If you live in Georgia they will even tow your car the next time they see it or just have the police look for your car on the open road. Don't risk it. 

Once again, they obviously took a picture of your plate and vin number so they will just contact the rental car company and they will press criminal charges against you through them, just as if you committed a hit and run crime on the open road.
