One of the thousands of drivers whose cars have been seized by the TLC-- always without a warrant and without a hearing-- for acting a taxi without a license has sued the agency for "ruining his life." Michael Davis of Allentown, Pennsylvania, claims $1 million in damages because the TLC seized his car at Kennedy Airport, which led to his being stranded, fired from his job as a limo driver, facing eviction, his wife miscarrying and unable to buy Christmas presents for his kids.
Davis says that a TLC inspector approached him and offered to pay him to driver her from JFK to LaGuardia Airport. Davis said he could not take the fare, but when the woman persisted, he offered to drive her for free. The TLC then seized his car and later falsified evidence against him, reports Rebecca Harshbarger in the New York Post.
