parking boot

Tire-locking enforcement device

A parking boot is a heavy metal clamp that law enforcement or parking authorities lock onto a vehicle's wheel to immobilize it, typically for unpaid parking tickets or other violations.

The car cannot be driven until fines are paid and the boot is removed.

I came back to find a parking boot on my front tire.

Also called a wheel clamp or Denver boot.
