Legal to tow your vehicle when there is no sighn???

I'm no armchair lawyer, but something seems awfully wrong about this. How can the bailiff speak for the policeman wrote the ticket? I would think he would either have to be called to show up in court, or obviously knowing that Chef was going to court, would have showed up himself. I sat in municipal court with my wife after she witnessed an accident and several times the judge had the policeman who wrote the ticket summoned, they waited until he showed up, then both told their side to the judge, then the person who got the ticket could decide to take it to the next level and fight it, hope the judge at least reduced it, or just pay the fine.
Chef, I don't know that you need Clarence Darrow on your side if you have your photo's, plus if you can get those records BW from AZ suggested. Maybe there's one of those practices around you that you don't pay if they don't get the decision.

The resteraunt that Chef works at had some sort of parking issues with the town. I dont remember all of the details, but the resteraunt put up some signs that they didnt have permission for 'claiming' a bunch of parking spots that they did not have permission to use.. I have a hunch that if the police know that chef works at this resteraunt, they are going to hang hi out to dry and make an example out of him.. Dont forget that this is RI.. one of the most currupt states in the country and narragansett is high on the list of towns where many crooked politicians live. If these politicians knew that chef is tiptoeing through thier yards at night to go fishing, he will be looking at jail time.. (joking)

Thanks for the advice guys. Nebe they dont know where i work, gonna keep that quiet. All that crap with my restaurant , is actually all Gilbane's ( the owner of all that property, we lease) doing. Im sure the police will go through their rolodex of reasons why i was towed, until they find one suitable for the judge. Im so aggrovated with all this.

Chef, trust me.. If they wanted to find out anything about you, they will know where you work.

Good luck.. I hope you kick their butts.. You were illegally towed.
