Towing Issues: car in towed in las vegas nevada, lawful possession, law enforcement agency


Question
I found out from this website that they do not have to post the towing sign in every space of the lot. The towing co's emp was on the lot watch me get out of my suv. I parked at 8:55 pm, by 8:57 he called it in & it was towed by 9:02. Do they have an obligation to advised us b4 towing? I was still on the lot when he called it in.

Answer
Well if you think that they are not obligated to warn anyone if you are illegally parking in the lot its wrong.
But if you think you should be warned, then if a burglar is casing your house and you see him, should he warn you that he is going to break in.

Now Nevada does have laws regarding towing and all that, and it is linked below.
