BTW I totally agree that there are some towing companies that have questionable ethics, but from your description of the incident it is your son's responsibility.

That's why the "facts" are relevent
What you and I both lack at this point, are "facts."
We have laws and ordinances for a reason. It levels the playing field and keeps everyone honest.
If or when he breaks a law, be it speeding or anything else, he pays the price. Just ask him
It's not "dad to the rescue."
He'll always be my son and I'll always stand by him and help him as I can. That said, I won't incorage bad behavior nor will I condone illegal behavior
However, when theres horsesh!t afoot, then dad does what he does best and somebody has hell to pay
I've always believed in doing the job, doing it correctly and doing it honestly.
From what I'm seeing here, it was neither
Picking him up at 4 am is not a big deal to me as I was already up at 2 anyway.
I'll let you guys know how it turns out. If he's wrong, we suck it up and deal with it
BTW...if this "fire lane" does turn out to be proper, which it's likely not, then parking there considering the area, was no risk to anyones safety at midnight.
If done during the daylight and business hours, it's a whole different ball game.
It's still "illegal" but not "dangerous."
