[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FwAugbtR4E"]YouTube- Taco Truck Takedown: Why is the LAPD hassling food carts?[/ame]

:smash:
 
I picked other. I do not think it may necessarily be the police but those in charge of the police and the food police who have a problem with these taco trucks(we called them gut trucks in the Army). A mobile food place that sells bacon wrapped hotdogs, tacos and other food sounds like it would a thorn in the side of people who want to dictate what you can eat and limit where fast food places can be built.

In my Army, we called it a roach coach.
 
Just this once, I agree with Partisan. The cops are protecting the community from untrained unsafe food handlers. There's a similar problem in London, with itinerant hot dog sellers, selling from a portable trolley. You see and smell the hot dogs and onions, but not underneath, where the filthy gas bottle powering the hotplate is stored, with a greasy box of elderly unrefrigerated precooked sausages balanced on top of it. Food poisoning in a bun. They tend to work late evenings, as the pubs empty out, so the diners are none too observant.

The people in the video about a minute and 17 seconds into the video state that they have a variety of required permits and licenses.
