I have been said at the parking department that cars are not supposed to stay at the same place more than 48 hours within free spots and it's not an unique case in US. It's not the first time I see cars towed in Miami Beach while in good state and legally parked. Probably that in Miami Dade...
Not only you didn't follow up the thread. 30 - 384 Miami dade ordinances : (5) Where such vehicle has been parked or stored on the public right-of-way for a period exceeding forty-eight (48) hours, in other than designated parking areas, and is within thirty (30) feet of the pavement edge....
I should have proceeded this way. I just sold the car from the tow company. What was the easiest way with a flat tire. The ordinances are confusing. What if one municipality qualify vehicles as abandoned after 24h at the same free public spot ? They would tow all those cars with a sticker as...
You have a lot of informations lol..
Who said my car was a clunker and sold as a parts car.
I sold this car for several hundred dollars but lost this value in order to pay the tow company, it's still significant.
How you know I had ample notice. Did you leave in the neighborhood ? Did you take...
For example, just out of curiosity, if the Florida statutes prevails a 5 days notice for towing, can any municipalities within the State can shorten the notice to 1,2 or 3 days ?
It can happens. Anyone may have a lifetime situation with a car left on the street during a big week-end or short vacation. If one of the tires get flat or even without that, you would just be good to get towed as soon as 48h..
No way to be contacted over mail or any sources..
I am pretty...
I am not crying, I'm trying to find a lawful way to fight a tow whose the process was suspicious. Do you live in Miami beach? It's full of scam.
Even the time set on the towing company receipt is adjusted wisely to add one more day of storage.
Only coincidences after all..
Ejay , yes I certify you that is the truth. Miami Beach seems working like a ....
That's why I have doubt on their dates because a lot of people had bad experiences about the parking department there and their towing associates.
I can't proof that the sticker wasn't there, are we supposed to...
Ok. Despite that, the removal order date is 5 days after the notice date. Like they wanted to respect the Florida statutes that I noticed them during my request. I should have taken pictures of the car every 2 days to make sure the notice wasn't there. And even that may be irrelevant for the court.
There is a (e) for this same section in the case that officer can't ascertain the name of the owner. That's what they told me, they don't have access to DMV files, if I have no registration with their city parking department then they can't know. Do you think the sticker/notice should have...
Here is the sticker left on my car. The problems are the dates because I checked the car after those 2 dates and I'm pretty sure it wasn't there. Furthermore, I find that suspicious last time she knew the codes of the ordinance while I was filling out the request. I wanted it printed out but I...
Did you find any ordinances in Miami Beach/ Miami Dade saying something different than the 5 days notice for abandoned vehicle prevailing in the Florida statutes ?
Where did you see any local ordinances saying that cars can be towed right away or at the discretion of the police when abandoned vehicles? The Miami Dade codes only say that's possible when on the premises of private property or within tow away zone, or unincorporated areas which isn't the case...
I am going to responde for your interrogations : The car was old and I recognize could be considered as abandoned. It still worked though. She said the car is not supposed to stay at the same spot more than 48h. The car was registered to my...
I filled out the public records request form to receive the exact informations and codes. So I'm waiting and will receive them by email.
However, she told me it was about the 30-389 code of ordinances as abandoned vehicles.
I didn't see any ordinances about towing time frame for abandoned...
Thank you all for your involvement. I am going to get more informations about the codes. The towing system is sometimes abusive in Miami Beach it's not new. I don't think we should let people abuse their authority when the law isn't respected. When people don't take action that's a reason for...
Yes because I noticed just the day after so I would have moved the car somewhere else. I was in process to sell it (sold now) and checked it almost everyday. Anyway this consideration isn't important because the law has to be respected. If the notice has to be 5 days in Florida then no one can...
Thanks if they don't cooperate what are my possibilities please ? Anyway cities/counties ordinances are valid as long as they don't contradict the state laws right?
