'Taxi-cab king' fined for using salvaged cop cars

wls
By ABC7
November 29, 2010 (CHICAGO)

Symon Garber and his partners were operating 180 cop cars as cabs.

The Chicago Sun-Times reviewed hundreds of complaints filed by City Hall against cab companies.

The salvaged cars were damaged so badly they were declared total losses by insurance companies. But Garber used them to ferry passengers for years.

Garber and his partners face $9 million in fines.
