Car Towed Over Expired Registration, But The Sticker Was Defective
Okay, so I live in Florida, my cars registration expired in March 2007, BUT I got it renewed, so it is legally registered until March 2008. The problem is, the sticker for my license plate never stuck, so I kept the sticker in my glove compartment under the assumption that if I were ever pulled over I'd explain to the officer that the sticker doesn't work. Well last week, my car was towed because of my expired sticker, does a towing company have any authority to do so? Isn't my vehicle information run by the cops? Wouldn't they have seen that I had a valid registration? What are my odds of getting this refunded? Thanks to anyone who could give me some help with this.
Re: Car Towed Over Expired Registration, But The Sticker Was Defective
I don't see how having the sticker in your glove compartment would let anybody else know that the car was properly registered and thus shouldn't be towed. I would think that the thing to do would be to go to the DMV and to try to get a replacement sticker.
You didn't tell us the circumstances of the towing, so no guesses there.
