NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Although there are plenty of boots in Music City, you won’t see any on cars.
That’s thanks to a state law stemming from concerns over “predatory practices,” and the boots can’t come back unless Metro Council votes to legalize them again.
“I just think it’s awful and also double dipping,” Nashville visitor, Makeya Miller, said. “If you’ve already paid not to get a ticket, why get a boot?”

Several people in downtown Nashville recounted stories of walking up to their cars after they had paid to park to discover the surprise no one wants — a boot. Franklin resident Sydney Eddy told News 2 that getting a boot led to a long night
“We waited for like two hours [and] didn’t get home until like probably one in the morning,” Eddy added.
While Nashville mayor Freddie O’Connell said that parking discussions are taking place at the local and state level, as of publication, there are no concrete plans about a return to previous booting practices.
