Walk It Through: The Car That Was Gone
An Oregon tow from a private lot, the photo the tower keeps, a hydrant, and a camera ticket.
Coming back to a lot, the driver finds a tow truck backing up to the car, the hook not yet attached.
Two things a person in this spot might do. Picking one shows what the law says about it.
One tow and one ticket. What a tower may charge for storage, a city's own parking code, and how to contest a camera citation in court are not worked through here.
A practice walkthrough, not a prediction of how any real one will go. Legal information, not legal advice.
