Towing companies enjoy special privileges and presumed innocent, e.g. no penalties for "towing the wrong car."

I mean, everyone is (supposed to be) presumed innocent. But point taken about the special privileges.

It approaches qualified immunity.

Consider an AWD BMW without badges. If it's a 3 series or above all you know is that it's either RWD or AWD.

If they tow it by the rear wheels you blow up your transfer case. But try and prove that it was THAT action that blew it up.

The proper way to deal with this is to lift the car using a crane and put it on a platform like this https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/seeligstadt-germany...
