Police Towing Car Rules

Summary

In California, police can tow a vehicle from a private parking lot if it poses a safety hazard, violates the law, or if requested by the property owner. Police need probable cause or a warrant to search a vehicle, and using flashlights without probable cause may be questionable. Possessing a grinder with no battery and a new blade alone may not establish probable cause for a search.
