Taco trucks pull up to curbs and offer LA eaters everything from tofu bowls to Korean barbeque. Customers flock to them, and recently so have police officers.
Truck owners report being cited for everything from parking too close to curbs to parking too far away. Sometimes officers shut them down.
Why would law enforcement target taco trucks for nuisance violations?
Turns out nearby restaurants don't like the competition.
"Taco Truck Takedown" is produced by Ted Balaker. The director of photography is Alex Manning, the field producer is Paul Detrick and the production associate is Tannen Wels. Music by Magnatune.
Approximately two-and-a-half minutes.
