Not all towing is the result of police action. I suspect a large majority don't involve the police at all.
Also it is not up to towing company to charge people a penalty for towing their vehicle even if the owner of the vehicle is not blameless.
The real crime is that the motor vehicle department will fine you $500 If you don't sign over the the title to the tow company, even if you didn't know it was towed, like being in the hospital.
A person may not be able to pay the $300 or so to retrieve their vehicle. Doesn't mater how thousands of dollars profit the tow company makes selling it.
This is a bad law and should be repealed, it severely and unfairly penalizes people on a limited income.
