My question involves towing laws for the State of: California
My motorcycle was towed off a city street and impounded for my registration being over 6 months late.
I was parked legally.
There is a dealer plate on it so the officer had to run my VIN to check my reg.
I was not issued a parking citation. On the tow slip it states I was towed for violating V.C. 22651(o)(1)(a):
A peace officer, as defined in Chapter 4.5 (commencing with Section 830) of Title 3 of Part 2 of the Penal Code, or a regularly employed and salaried employee, who is engaged in directing traffic or enforcing parking laws and regulations, of a city, county, or jurisdiction of a state agency in which a vehicle is located, may remove a vehicle located within the territorial limits in which the officer or employee may act, under the following circumstances:
(o) (1) When a vehicle is found or operated upon a highway, public land, or an offstreet parking facility under the following circumstances:
(A) With a registration expiration date in excess of six months before the date it is found or operated on the highway, public lands, or the offstreet parking facility.
Since I was parked legally, didn't he need some cause to run my VIN #?
Do I have a leg to stand if I go though a "post storage hearing"?
thanks!
