Even police can not tow your parked vehicle for expired registration or inspection. They write a citation and move on. Some how an HOA can authorize 3rd party to not only trespass on your property but steal your property? Yeah, I don't think so. These quasi government entities, HOA's, Need to be put on a very, very short leash. Only criminals lurk on other peoples property in the dead of night, that's called stalking. How would the towing company pick these vehicles from the hundreds in the neighborhood? Are they checking everyone? How far out of registration are they? I mean if your reg says September and it's October, that could be 1 day, 1 week or one month.

My township does the same thing and we dont have a HOA. The reason they do it is because nobody has stopped these tyrants with their second amendments right.
In this case, it was the towing company abusing the limits of their parking enforcement contract. Which is why the cops warn them in the video that if it continues they'll be arrested for vehicle theft.

well think about this if you don't pay your HOA's fees("rent"), in most states they can take legal action against you or they can place a lien on your house, so in other words they can take it.

There are several people who struggle with them.
As a prior officer in pasco county, the deputies are absolutely correct. This is felony grand theft of a motor vehicle. There are so many reasons why this fits the statutory guidelines for that charge. If the tow truck drivers carried a firearm which ive never met one that did not, the charge can be enhanced. Then requiring money to get it back carries more charges. This is absolutely criminal and asinine. An hoa can have rules but can not operate outside the law. Technically if they want to get creative this was organized crime. After forwarding the news clip to my friend that currently works as an attorney he said it is also racketeering and carries a 30 year sentence if convicted.
The HOAs seem to be masters at creating rules that are against the law, but not big enough issues to get the government involved. Terrible practice overall. If we are going to have pseudogovernments, there need to be HIGH consequences for criminal activity carried out under their perceived authority.
They should arrest the HOA and tows under RICO and get them in jail together. That tow company knows the laws and no HOA ever has legal rights to do this and the tow driver becomes part of the stealing.
I work security, I called pd or sheriff on more tow companies for crossing the line of going on to private property to just check the tages. I got one arrested for trying to pull the car out of the person garage. The best part was a repo guy. The repo company lost there state license, the home owners sued the repo company, the lean holder settled out of court writing off the loan as paid in full. But I have stopped and had tow companies from towing cars that were backed in and had pd or sheriff have them drop the cars and did a trespassing warning and told them if they come back and they are armed, just like you said, they be going away for a long time
The HOA is about to be sued. When the sheriffs show up and say the HOA and truck drivers are going to be charged with vehicle theft you know it’s illegal. Get your money people time to sue!!
They have no right to go onto private property unless they have a court order regardless of what the HOA says. Reason the cars are off the public street is probably because of the expired registration I'm assuming. And why are the tows taking place in the middle of the night?? Driver knows what he is doing is shady
Technically, anyone can walk up the driveway and to the front door as long as there's not a No Trespassing sign out, it's part of the implied permission. Doing so in the middle of the night looking like you're about to steal stuff, and then you actually do, I can see where homeowners might get confrontational.
To be honest that tow company SHOULD be charged with grand theft for the other TEN vehicles that he ADMITTED to stealing already. The HOA doesn't have the authority to just take someones private property, they can FINE the homeowner for breaking the rules but just taking it is THEFT.
It's not theft if the HOA is in control of the property as a property management you've got an unregistered vehicle on their property I don't care if it's your yard or not you agreed to the HOA when you moved in there and sign your paperwork and another thing is not Grand Theft unless you cross the state lines!! You should have your vehicles registered to prove that they're not stolen!!
TBH, people need to be ADULTS and not whining 2 year olds when they own a car.....be responsible and keep car current....it is NOT STEALING to tow a car not properly registered and in violation of HOA rules
they absolutely have the right to tow cars that are in violation...when they don't, lots/roads get over run by abandoned cars...or the cars that are legal, but don't fit in the driveway
@@110311DONTWANTCHANNE Apparently you didn't actually watch the video because the POLICE told those 2 boobs that they would get charged with GRAND THEFT if they towed another car so obviously the HOA doesn't have the right to take cars from private property. As I said earlier, they can fine people but can't steal their cars. Before you continue rambling, cars on private property (driveways) are different that ones parked on a public street and have different rules when it comes to towing them.
Everyone should get together and sue the HOA. Take them to their breaking point financially. Even if the lawsuit is dismissed, it would literally collapse them if 500 people sued them at the same time.

And not all rules are legally enforceable. You can't steal someone's property. They can only fine the homeowner.

@@HudsonGTV That's right. Some contracts are unlawful and unenforceable from the getgo. This is one of them because it infringes on private property rights protected by the constitution. This is the reason the HOA was forced to suspend the entire practice.
We had an HOA threaten to come on to our property to tow a vehicle that was in my driveway on a temporary basis. While I had the HOA on the phone (land line) I called the non-emergency police using my cell phone. I asked if the HOA was allowed to tow my personal property from my driveway. The police stated that the HOA can tow but once they do it is considered theft and I can press charges against the HOA. The HOA heard this conversation and my case was closed.
@@solarion5721 I did it while we were all on the phone(s) because I wanted to know my rights. IF the HOA was correct and they were allowed to tow then I would have scrambled to get my truck out of the shop to move our pop up out of our driveway. But since the HOA was not allowed I was able to let my truck get fixed - then we moved our pop up back to its regular storage spot offsite.
The HOA has no legal right to tow anyone's car because their plate tags are expired. That's a Department of Motor Vehicles responsibility. They are trespassing. The lawyer needs replaced after making that stupid comment of "I think the HOA does have that authority".
Ha, HOAs can control the EXACT color of paint used for fences. You think they can't control non-street legal vehicles from being seen from the street? I would not buy/pay for any HOA without going through that document with a fine-toothed comb and double checking I'm cool with all the rules. People sign their authority and agency away all the time without reading. The difference here is it isn't some EULA for a piece of software that can't be practically enfored. A side topic: Repo guys can absolutely tow from driveways.
@jahbrother3602 I know they are in the drive way. That is why I gave the example of repossession of a vehicle in a driveway. You can't murder the repo guy.
So they’re trespassing on peoples private property to steal their car and hold it for ransom. This is the sleazy thing I’ve ever heard of. They need to go to jail and HOA needs to be abolished by the residents.
The major issue I have with this is that tags may show that it’s expired but the tow company don’t know if the car owner may had just paid it and is waiting for the new tag in the mail.
@@mofayer That's the main point. They are attempting to enforce things that are outside the bounds of the reasonable agreement of living in the HOA. The HOA is not the DMV and has no right attempting to act like it can police traffic law.
Private property has not meant anything for years. the state and federal government charges massive amounts of money for you to essentially rent something you're supposed to own. Taxes were never meant to be so steep that you could lose what you are supposed to own.
The reporting didn't exactly make the subtleties clear. Yes an HOA can have your car towed off your property (in most states) but they require an authorization by the HOA for each violator. They didn't have that so it was theft.
Without notice is the major issue I see. The HOA should be notifying the residents if there is a violation and actions that will be taken if the violation is not corrected in a reasonable time frame.
Kudos for the sheriff office for protecting the innocent homeowners and what a disgrace those towing company and HOA are. I would gladly 100% arrest tow truck drivers for vehicle theft. 100% unlawful towing solely based expires tag on private property. It’s not a repossession issue over late payment or tax payment.
I'm a tow truck driver and these so-called tow truck drivers are pure scum. Working in the middle of the night and I bet kickback to HOA. This should be investigated. Cops were 100 percent right.
It's Florida. Expect that most homeowners have at least one firearm minimum. I know we do not have a duty to retreat in Florida if someone is trespassing on our property. I am not sure if them being on private property is enough to warrant shooting them, but if they are unarmed, and they get caught by the man of the house, I would image they could wind getting beat up if they refuse to get off the property.
You’re going to have a difficult time justifying the use of deadly force to prevent a property crime. IF you are a gun owner, I suggest brushing up on the usage of said weapon.
Kinda hard to avoid them when they can magically claim your property as being part of their jurisdiction without telling you anything. You just magically get a bill in the mail for monthly dues and they decide it’s appropriate to sell your home for you for failing to pay the monthly dues along with whatever fines they levy on you. Effing ridiculous!
Yes, an HOA is the worst thing that can happen in a neighborhood. Most of the HOAs have these reasons why you shouldn't be part of one. Reason number 1: you have very little to no control on how should your property look like, what cars can be parked in a driveway, what collor your mailbox should be, what kind of fence you can have, if you can or cannot have a pool ect... basically the opposite of what America stands for.@nofilter.906
@@nofilter.906 The HOA I live in here in Texas has a community swimming pool/clubhouse and two parks that were recently built. They hire contractors to mow, trim, water and pick up trash in the common areas every Wednesday. Not all HOA's are alike. I rarely hear from my HOA until dues are due.
@ I guarantee you don’t have a right to shoot someone that is doing their job, idiots like you think deadly force is always an option. All I can say is you are talking out of your ass cause u probably never lived in an hoa. You do not own the property, this is why you pay the hoa fees, because the hoa owns the property. In a hoa you only own your house.
There is no legal requirement for the vehicle to be registered on private property. Only to be operated on public roads. That means that the towing company is guilty of grand theft auto. Just stating legal FACTS. 😅
You didn't clarify if you mean everywhere or where this took place in the video, but it depends... In my city, a vehicle must be currently registered with a tag to be legally parked in front of my house... And my state says that if a vehicle is registered, it must have insurance. So, even if it's a car that never gets driven, I must have it registered and insured. My city also does not allow any "inoperable" vehicles in the front of the house. In the backyard behind a fence is another story...
@@hoosier.daddy5000 I'm assuming that the street in front of your house is city or property. It's different if the streets on a gated community were the private property of whatever development company built the subdivision and set up the HOA. Since the Highway Patrol can't pull you off the freeway to write you a ticket for having the wrong color bathroom blinds, an HOA shouldn't be enforcing vehicle registration laws that don't involve noise or safety.
Total ignorance. The DMV says clearly, if your tags are expired, you just cannot be on a PUBLIC ROADWAY, and they advise that you just keep it on your private property.
Exactly I have several unregistered vehicles on my property. I asked the DMV if I need to register my collector's cars if I don't plan on driving them ever, she said no they do not need to be tagged unless I plan on actually putting them on the road.
She knows the law, but if she said anything wrong, she could not only be disbarred, but face criminal charges! That's why all of a sudden, the HOA suspended the contract because she called them Ather the media interviewed her and she knew they were screwed!

HOA is allowed by neighborhood rules to do what they want. So if you spend all that money for a house in an unincorporated neighborhood. Just to not pay higher taxes in the city or towns. You need to follow the rules of the unincorporated neighborhood then.
There is no grace period in the state I live in. But police can just give you a warning if they so desire. They can also give you a ticket the day after it expires.
Why should they be outlawed ? It's a choice that people make. They voluntarily buy into an HOA no one is forced to live in an HOA. Love the people who don't do their research before making one of the most important decision of their life, buying a home, then complain about it.
While a cop, I caught a tow truck driver doing something like this. I gave him a chance to drop the car or go to jail for vehicle theft. Actually, I caught tow truck drivers doing a lot of illegal things. They became a special project of mine.
I love when the lawyer said I think they do. But it baffles me why the HOA would be concerned about cars that are not registered with the state. Why are these people so concerned?
They are in bed with the county government, the state DMV and the county police. They all know what's going on. I have this exact problem here in Stafford Va and have filed a 100 page civil rights complaint for 10 years of abuse with the FBI, the Va state police and others.
HUGE difference between "I think" and here is the case law that shows it is allowed. One is an opinion of a person, one is established law already decided by a court.
It's a way to keep delinquent vehicles from piling up in a neighborhood. Thing here is, any communication before this? And of course a midnite run to covertly pick up vehicles is literally insane, or more specifically, theft. This is crazy
There is a lot going on here lol but the tow truck operator needs to have a physical copy of the agreement and why is he only taking vehicles at night whether he thinks he’s in the right or wrong he needs to be careful because once again this is Florida and some people don’t take too kindly to strangers walking around their private property.
The tow company is not naive. They are in bed with the DMV, the local government (county) and that county police and likely the county board as well. I have this same problem in Stafford Va because I accused the police of tortious interference in a rental agreement and taking a bribe from an apartment complex. I have a 100 page complaint for civil rights violations with the Richmond,Va FBI for deprivation of rights.
Nah it's scheme between the HOA and Tow company, the police tell them would be arrested for grand theft because it's not legal. The HOA was probably getting cuts of every single car towed into the lot.
Most town's, townships and municipalities have ordnances that say you can not have cars that aren't registered and inspected on your property. I think it's unconstitutional as you say, those are regulations for DRIVING so if you aren't driving, they are irrelevant, but our corrupt courts think differently and the sheeple go along with the brainwashing.
@@n9wox Agreed but that is an ordnance not a law. If you aren't on the street you don't have to comply with any dot laws. Which is also why they can't tow your vehicle, it's just a summery minor offense like not cutting your grass.

Yeah, this is kickback fraud. Happened here in the SC low country & ended with murder of a Dad on Christmas Eve & prison for tow truck driver. This is illegal & someone will get shot.
Fuck it, it's Florida. Lawless swamp
My township does the same thing and we dont have a HOA. The reason they do it is because nobody has stopped these tyrants with their second amendments right.
This is CRAZY!!!!
Rule #1. Never live in a HOA community. Rule #2. Do not step onto my property and attempt to steal my vehicle. Bad idea.

If you want a new construction home it's impossible not to have an HOA.
@@daveb2280 Not impossible, just more difficult. Freedom is worth the effort.
In this case, it was the towing company abusing the limits of their parking enforcement contract. Which is why the cops warn them in the video that if it continues they'll be arrested for vehicle theft.

HOA abuse of power is ridiculous and they should be sued.
When you buy a house in an HOA, you don't own it, you are renting.
@@lrzero1362 So the HoA takes out the loan and pays the mortgage? If not, they own jack.
well think about this if you don't pay your HOA's fees("rent"), in most states they can take legal action against you or they can place a lien on your house, so in other words they can take it. I don't know about you but that sounds like renting and it's hard to get out of an HOA with your house in the HOA. By the way you also have to follow their rules or else they will make you struggle with fines, etc. I guess Mr Ditkovitch from Spiderman 2 would be proud of the HOA's.
@@lrzero1362
That is not the same as them towing your car with expired tags
They can make all the dumb rules they want
They don't have the authority to tow your car over expired tags
They aren't law enforcement
@@RCenalI want to make myself clear, I'm not trying to argue with anyone, I'm just explaining why HOA's are like renting from my view. I know they are not law enforcement but several cities give them a lot of privileges and they are willing to take to court anyone who refuses to pay them, and don't follow their rules, which is a hassle. There are several people who struggle with them.
As a prior officer in pasco county, the deputies are absolutely correct. This is felony grand theft of a motor vehicle. There are so many reasons why this fits the statutory guidelines for that charge. If the tow truck drivers carried a firearm which ive never met one that did not, the charge can be enhanced. Then requiring money to get it back carries more charges. This is absolutely criminal and asinine. An hoa can have rules but can not operate outside the law. Technically if they want to get creative this was organized crime. After forwarding the news clip to my friend that currently works as an attorney he said it is also racketeering and carries a 30 year sentence if convicted.
Great information!
Look up A1 towing in memphis
The HOAs seem to be masters at creating rules that are against the law, but not big enough issues to get the government involved. Terrible practice overall. If we are going to have pseudogovernments, there need to be HIGH consequences for criminal activity carried out under their perceived authority.
They should arrest the HOA and tows under RICO and get them in jail together. That tow company knows the laws and no HOA ever has legal rights to do this and the tow driver becomes part of the stealing.
I work security, I called pd or sheriff on more tow companies for crossing the line of going on to private property to just check the tages.
I got one arrested for trying to pull the car out of the person garage. The best part was a repo guy.
The repo company lost there state license, the home owners sued the repo company, the lean holder settled out of court writing off the loan as paid in full.
But I have stopped and had tow companies from towing cars that were backed in and had pd or sheriff have them drop the cars and did a trespassing warning and told them if they come back and they are armed, just like you said, they be going away for a long time
The HOA is about to be sued. When the sheriffs show up and say the HOA and truck drivers are going to be charged with vehicle theft you know it’s illegal. Get your money people time to sue!!
The woman who was part of the towing company really did shut her mouth when they found out they going to be prosecuted. Effing beautiful ❤
That was really funny 😂
? Weirdo comment
Skank
They have no right to go onto private property unless they have a court order regardless of what the HOA says. Reason the cars are off the public street is probably because of the expired registration I'm assuming. And why are the tows taking place in the middle of the night?? Driver knows what he is doing is shady
Technically, anyone can walk up the driveway and to the front door as long as there's not a No Trespassing sign out, it's part of the implied permission. Doing so in the middle of the night looking like you're about to steal stuff, and then you actually do, I can see where homeowners might get confrontational.
You signed away your rights when you agreed to hoa
@@n5sdmno you haven’t. There are certain rules that you need to follow, but they have no authority to do this. You have rights. This is highly illegal
This is why people hate lawyers
They should be prosecuted for auto theft.
To be honest that tow company SHOULD be charged with grand theft for the other TEN vehicles that he ADMITTED to stealing already. The HOA doesn't have the authority to just take someones private property, they can FINE the homeowner for breaking the rules but just taking it is THEFT.
HOA's should not exist
It's not theft if the HOA is in control of the property as a property management you've got an unregistered vehicle on their property I don't care if it's your yard or not you agreed to the HOA when you moved in there and sign your paperwork and another thing is not Grand Theft unless you cross the state lines!! You should have your vehicles registered to prove that they're not stolen!!
TBH, people need to be ADULTS and not whining 2 year olds when they own a car.....be responsible and keep car current....it is NOT STEALING to tow a car not properly registered and in violation of HOA rules
they absolutely have the right to tow cars that are in violation...when they don't, lots/roads get over run by abandoned cars...or the cars that are legal, but don't fit in the driveway
@@110311DONTWANTCHANNE Apparently you didn't actually watch the video because the POLICE told those 2 boobs that they would get charged with GRAND THEFT if they towed another car so obviously the HOA doesn't have the right to take cars from private property. As I said earlier, they can fine people but can't steal their cars. Before you continue rambling, cars on private property (driveways) are different that ones parked on a public street and have different rules when it comes to towing them.
Everyone should get together and sue the HOA. Take them to their breaking point financially. Even if the lawsuit is dismissed, it would literally collapse them if 500 people sued them at the same time.
Loved it when the deputy got him told. Straight up, you hook up to another car on private property and you're going to jail 😆😆
Imagine being worse the police officers they hooking up cars in parking lots not parker blocking the road wtf are these aholes doing. They all need time in jail for this nonsense
Make trailer parks for the old fogies again 😂
Too bad the deputy has no jurisdiction.
The homeowners sign an agreement to buy a house in an HOA community with a bunch of ridiculous rules most of them refuse to read
And not all rules are legally enforceable. You can't steal someone's property. They can only fine the homeowner.
@@HudsonGTV That's right. Some contracts are unlawful and unenforceable from the getgo. This is one of them because it infringes on private property rights protected by the constitution. This is the reason the HOA was forced to suspend the entire practice.
We had an HOA threaten to come on to our property to tow a vehicle that was in my driveway on a temporary basis. While I had the HOA on the phone (land line) I called the non-emergency police using my cell phone. I asked if the HOA was allowed to tow my personal property from my driveway. The police stated that the HOA can tow but once they do it is considered theft and I can press charges against the HOA. The HOA heard this conversation and my case was closed.
You should’ve let it happen and not let them know.
Sure you did
@@pkennedy0219 - thanks for the comment and I hope you have a great day.
@@solarion5721 I did it while we were all on the phone(s) because I wanted to know my rights. IF the HOA was correct and they were allowed to tow then I would have scrambled to get my truck out of the shop to move our pop up out of our driveway. But since the HOA was not allowed I was able to let my truck get fixed - then we moved our pop up back to its regular storage spot offsite.
The lawyer says “I think it does.” They’re getting sued into oblivion.
The HOA has no legal right to tow anyone's car because their plate tags are expired. That's a Department of Motor Vehicles responsibility. They are trespassing. The lawyer needs replaced after making that stupid comment of "I think the HOA does have that authority".
Ha, HOAs can control the EXACT color of paint used for fences. You think they can't control non-street legal vehicles from being seen from the street? I would not buy/pay for any HOA without going through that document with a fine-toothed comb and double checking I'm cool with all the rules. People sign their authority and agency away all the time without reading. The difference here is it isn't some EULA for a piece of software that can't be practically enfored. A side topic: Repo guys can absolutely tow from driveways.
Agreed that attorney should go back to chasing ambulances.

@jahbrother3602 I know they are in the drive way. That is why I gave the example of repossession of a vehicle in a driveway. You can't murder the repo guy.
That’s a felony committed by the HOA and the tow company.
Not to mention trespassing on private property!!!!!
Sue them it’s unconstitutional PERIOD
Absolutely
i dunno about all that - gotta read the fine print in the HOA bylaws that the home owner signed.
lol yall probably agreed to it
This is despicable
So they’re trespassing on peoples private property to steal their car and hold it for ransom. This is the sleazy thing I’ve ever heard of. They need to go to jail and HOA needs to be abolished by the residents.
The major issue I have with this is that tags may show that it’s expired but the tow company don’t know if the car owner may had just paid it and is waiting for the new tag in the mail.
The major issue is that neither the towing company nor the HOA have the right to police vehicle registrations
@@mofayer That's the main point. They are attempting to enforce things that are outside the bounds of the reasonable agreement of living in the HOA. The HOA is not the DMV and has no right attempting to act like it can police traffic law.
When you renew your tags, you get a piece of paper to put in the window to show you paid for it and it’s in the mail.
@@ferretyluv You don't have to put that paper in your window. Police can run your information and see you have already renewed your tags.

Nobody forces you to sign your rights away when you choose to buy a house in a HOA.
Private property has not meant anything for years. the state and federal government charges massive amounts of money for you to essentially rent something you're supposed to own. Taxes were never meant to be so steep that you could lose what you are supposed to own.

As a tow truck driver these type of drivers are predators they live to take from people instead of helping to make a difference.
I'm a tow truck driver and these so-called tow truck drivers are pure scum. Working in the middle of the night and I bet kickback to HOA. This should be investigated. Cops were 100 percent right.
Someone is crocked at the HOA and getting a kick back
Give that man back his grocery money!!
So if he gets shot, who's at fault? Guy walks up to my car with a flash light, I'm thinking he's trying to steal my property.
It's Florida. Expect that most homeowners have at least one firearm minimum. I know we do not have a duty to retreat in Florida if someone is trespassing on our property. I am not sure if them being on private property is enough to warrant shooting them, but if they are unarmed, and they get caught by the man of the house, I would image they could wind getting beat up if they refuse to get off the property.
Depends on whether the HOA has prohibited gun ownership 😆
@@TGWazoo1 HOA cannot do that lol. Would love to see em try it.
You’re going to have a difficult time justifying the use of deadly force to prevent a property crime. IF you are a gun owner, I suggest brushing up on the usage of said weapon.

Imagine the residents paying another tow company to tow the towman.
Cops caught him red handed stealing a vehicle. He admitted to stealing 10 others. But yet they do nothing.
This is why you never never never NEVER buy a home in an HOA!
Kinda hard to avoid them when they can magically claim your property as being part of their jurisdiction without telling you anything.

Yes, an HOA is the worst thing that can happen in a neighborhood. Most of the HOAs have these reasons why you shouldn't be part of one. Reason number 1: you have very little to no control on how should your property look like, what cars can be parked in a driveway, what collor your mailbox should be, what kind of fence you can have, if you can or cannot have a pool ect... basically the opposite of what America stands for.@nofilter.906

That tow truck driver is guilty of theft. He should be in jail for stealing cars.

On a public street yes, in your driveway, no.
That's the price of living in HOA! The HOA is doing this to the homeowners!
There is no legal requirement for the vehicle to be registered on private property. Only to be operated on public roads. That means that the towing company is guilty of grand theft auto. Just stating legal FACTS. 😅
True. The board and the tow guy don't have this authority. Eric Cartmen yes.
You didn't clarify if you mean everywhere or where this took place in the video, but it depends... In my city, a vehicle must be currently registered with a tag to be legally parked in front of my house... And my state says that if a vehicle is registered, it must have insurance. So, even if it's a car that never gets driven, I must have it registered and insured. My city also does not allow any "inoperable" vehicles in the front of the house.
In the backyard behind a fence is another story...
@@DCOM20. I thought of Eric "Dog" the Bounty Hunter as well.

@@hoosier.daddy5000 I'm assuming that the street in front of your house is city or property. It's different if the streets on a gated community were the private property of whatever development company built the subdivision and set up the HOA. Since the Highway Patrol can't pull you off the freeway to write you a ticket for having the wrong color bathroom blinds, an HOA shouldn't be enforcing vehicle registration laws that don't involve noise or safety.
Total ignorance. The DMV says clearly, if your tags are expired, you just cannot be on a PUBLIC ROADWAY, and they advise that you just keep it on your private property.
Exactly I have several unregistered vehicles on my property. I asked the DMV if I need to register my collector's cars if I don't plan on driving them ever, she said no they do not need to be tagged unless I plan on actually putting them on the road.

HOA is allowed by neighborhood rules to do what they want. So if you spend all that money for a house in an unincorporated neighborhood. Just to not pay higher taxes in the city or towns. You need to follow the rules of the unincorporated neighborhood then.

More like a kidnapping. You get it back once you pay the ransom.
Predatory tow companies are horrible
That's how they make their money.
Time to sue the HOA and the tow company.
DMV gives you at least 30 days grace in tags. This guy probably towed vehicles that had tags that the DMV still considered valid

Just one more way to control you, make you waste your money, and make your life miserable. HOAs should be outlawed.
They are in bed with the county government, the state DMV and the county police. They all know what's going on. I have this exact problem here in Stafford Va and have filed a 100 page civil rights complaint for 10 years of abuse with the FBI, the Va state police and others.
HUGE difference between "I think" and here is the case law that shows it is allowed. One is an opinion of a person, one is established law already decided by a court.
Because the HOA board members are on a power trip.
It's a way to keep delinquent vehicles from piling up in a neighborhood.
Thing here is, any communication before this? And of course a midnite run to covertly pick up vehicles is literally insane, or more specifically, theft.
This is crazy
My HOA gave me a "warning" for expired tags last year. I just about lost it on them!
This is absolutely grand theft.
There is a lot going on here lol but the tow truck operator needs to have a physical copy of the agreement and why is he only taking vehicles at night whether he thinks he’s in the right or wrong he needs to be careful because once again this is Florida and some people don’t take too kindly to strangers walking around their private property.
Exactly!
let's be honest, the tow guy is out a 2am to avoid being confronted, not to mention he wants that $200+ payout over a $75 drop fee.
The tow company is not naive. They are in bed with the DMV, the local government (county) and that county police and likely the county board as well. I have this same problem in Stafford Va because I accused the police of tortious interference in a rental agreement and taking a bribe from an apartment complex. I have a 100 page complaint for civil rights violations with the Richmond,Va FBI for deprivation of rights.

Most town's, townships and municipalities have ordnances that say you can not have cars that aren't registered and inspected on your property. I think it's unconstitutional as you say, those are regulations for DRIVING so if you aren't driving, they are irrelevant, but our corrupt courts think differently and the sheeple go along with the brainwashing.
Not in my city and in other locations. Registration is required if parked in the driveway.
@@n9wox Agreed but that is an ordnance not a law. If you aren't on the street you don't have to comply with any dot laws. Which is also why they can't tow your vehicle, it's just a summery minor offense like not cutting your grass.

Fantastic that the police showed up and told the creepy predatory tow truck operator. The tow truck business is out extorting money, simple as that. And i would be extremely surprised if the HOA was not receiving a taste…

The HOA’s lawyer must have graduated in the bottom 10% of her class. The tow company is probably a family member of the HOA.
