A Nevada tow from a private lot, the parking rules near a hydrant, and the camera that cannot write the ticket.
After dinner, the car is gone from a shopping center lot. A sign at the entrance restricts parking to customers and lists the sheriff's number.
Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.

A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
