Your Rights In Los Angeles
This page has a selection of the most essential information for you to have if you are faced with a tow thug in the City of Los Angeles. Specifically, LAPD Police Commission towing regulations, the California Vehicle Code Section relating to towing from private property, the current maximum rates you can be charged, and the California Civil Code relating to liens on vehicles. Know the law, know your rights! LAPD officers on the street do not know everything on this page--even when it comes from the police chief himself!
