Why are these two laws screwed up and actually reversed ?

Asked by Pretty_Lilly (4660points) April 16th, 2010

It is my understanding that by law a person can order a repo man in the process of legally repossessing a vehicle to release it,even if the loan is in default and the repossession has been order by the title holder,the bank
(*that’s why,most repo men prefer to work at night and steal the car back) but when I lived in Florida it was legal for tow truck companies to go about town and tow away legally parked cars and charge the owners +$300 to get their cars back,even though the tow was not ordered by the police nor by a property/business owner .

I think the worst case,I have ever seen was a pregnant woman parking at a 7/11 to use the payphone within seconds the tow truck backed up to her car & hitched up her front wheels.
Completely legal,because technically she was not there patronize the business,, to top it off the A-hole truck driver was laughing at the poor crying lady,telling her there was nothing he could do !
There were several tow truck companies that were infamous for basically doing the same thing,,, drive around town stealing legally parked cars out of side streets,businesses and even an apartment complex.
Even the local radio DJs would often comment on this practice !
