Taco Truck Towed While Protesting Taco Truck Fines

Patty's Taco Truck, a popular spot usually parked on the Upper East Side, was towed yesterday. Unfortunately, Patty and company were in the middle of a rally against the city's street vendor fines when it happened. Cops charged them for selling merchandise in front of a parking meter, which yes, is illegal [pdf] and towed the truck away from about 20 protesters who had gathered. Truck co-owner Alberto Loera told the Post, "It's unfair, the cops will give you a ticket for anything." Protesters reportedly chanted, "We're hungry for justice" as the truck was hauled away, but they were also probably hungry for lunch.
