The city's Law Department argues that courtesy tow victims haven't shown their hardship is 'fairly traceable to the City,” A judge rejected the argument. Two federal lawsuits are moving ahead.
Some courtesy-tow victims have had their cars dropped off in metered or no-parking zones, then ticketed and towed a second time by the Philadelphia Parking Authority . Appealing the tickets is often futile, because drivers have no way to prove that they didn’t illegally park their car in the second location.
Last month, in South Philadelphia, for example, an owner had his car towed for street paving — three days before the beginning of the no-parking date listed on the temporary sign. Wagman, who has joined the class-action suit, was denied at every step of the appeals process, all the way up to Common Pleas Court, where Judge Anne Marie Coyle ordered him to pay the full amount because he had no documentation that he“I was shot down in probably less than a minute,” he said, adding: “Why would I park in a metered zone that’s just blocks way from my permit parking that I pay for yearly?”“It was honestly unbelievable,” he said.
