yep
and write down everything that was said...
in the PD....
also,, and this is kind of anal (i know) a suggestion
but snap a digital photo when in doubt....
thats when a good pic is worth more than
a 1000 words or $125.00 bucks.

Got the truck from the impound lot , and the %$%$%$%$ing side view mirrow was scratched!! Then to top it off there was a $75 ticket for parking in a tow zone, even though 0 sighns say tow zone in the area. I also went to where i was parked to take photos and one of the parking sighns was taken out and laying on the ground, kinda shady!!!   |

Time to contact the Mayor and the local newspaper and write a letter to the editor and tell the local business close by that you won,t be doing business with them if your going to be getting tickets. I told an insurance company that i was going to cancel and low and behold it got all straitened out

Sorry to hear, that's not right. 
Going to court is a PIA, lost wages and they will prolly hold your case till last of the day,
especially if you have a lawyer and someone with the same offense is there
without a lawyer.  |

What OLD GOAT said.
A little public outcry goes a long way in these situations.Get a few people who were also towed to do the same thing.Hell before you know it there's a big controversy,it becomes a subject at a town meeting etc.
