Tow company doubled price of tow after trucker warned others to move

You can't just charge whatever the hell you want. There has to be a reason for it. Not because "I felt like it". What's stopping them for charging $60,000 to drop the truck? It's just stupid.

Also, calling the police in this situation would probably scare off the tow truck.

 

Depends on whether they're getting a cut.

 

Even 3k just to drop is too much.

 

not if the towing is an unregulated business and there are signs, then the popo can't do diddly squat

 

So extortion is legal in North Carolina?

 

I just read the " meth head shoots at a truck" story just now. Watch out Florida, North Carolina is taking your place.
Glad I stay out west
