A Michigan city agreed to pay $1,000 to a driver to settle a lawsuit about marking tires to catch parking violators.The deal in Bay City followed a declaration in August that a similar practice in Saginaw was illegal. U.S. District Judge Thomas Ludington said chalking tires without a warrant violated constitutional protections against unreasonable searches. 'The whole point of this is to set clear lines,' attorney Phil Ellison said Thursday. 'Police just can't kick down your door. The same parallel here is when the government starts messing with our cars.
