Southside Towing Costa Mesa, CA
Illegal Towing and Refusal to give information

They are breaking the California Vehicle Code 22658 (l)"the property owner must be present at the time of the tow" There is no "grey area" of the law. Dont
believe the tow companies response of "federal law over rides the state" Its not true.

There was no towing notice nor a penal code listed on the sign to indicate I had done anything illegal.

2) A towing company is guilty of a misdemeanor if the towing company fails to provide the
notification required under paragraph (1) within 60 minutes after the vehicle is removed from the
private property and is in transit or 15 minutes after arriving at the storage facility, whichever
time is less.

(3) A towing company that does not provide the notification under paragraph (1) within 30 minutes
after the vehicle is removed from the private property and is in transit is civilly liable to the
registered owner of the vehicle, or the person who tenders the fees, for three times the amount of
the towing and storage charges.

They towed my vehicle which had a parking pass. The parking pass was for covered parking only, I was in an uncovered spot for maybe 20 minutes to run into my apartment to get a book for my class, when I came out it was gone. I didn't recieve any notification of towing whatsoever.
