Towing Issues: Please translate legal to English., tow truck operator, shell version

Question
Good afternoon Richard,

could you please 'translate' second sentence of rule 46.55.080 section (2) into English.

"(2) The person requesting a private impound or a law enforcement officer or public official requesting a public impound shall provide a signed authorization for the impound at the time and place of the impound to the registered tow truck operator before the operator may proceed with the impound. A registered tow truck operator, employee, or his or her agent may not serve as an agent of a property owner for the purposes of signing an impound authorization or, independent of the property owner, identify a vehicle for impound."

Thank you very much,

Answer
if I understand what you are asking, I think that you want to know about "AGENT"

What that means is that the tow company can not patrol parking lots looking for vehicles and then tow them away... The tow has to be authorized by the manager or property owner before the tow has been started...

Thats a nut shell version of what you asked.
