Can a Parked Vehicle be Impounded Without Notice

They do that to mark it for other officers and themselves. I don't see anything requiring that it be put on there.

Don't the police put a red sticker on the car when first observed or reported and then tow if the car is still there with the red sticker 72 hours later?

If the vehicle is eligible to be towed, sure. These are typically placed as warnings or on vehicles that appear to be abandoned or junk. But, again, there has to be a code section (local or state) to authorize the tow. The police or local parking authority cannot simply tow a vehicle without legal justification.

Policies and practices (and color of such notices) vary by agency.
