Move his curtain Street and his process my car got torched, vandalized and towed.
A:
In California, the enforcement of vehicle regulations, including the requirement to move a vehicle due to expired registration tags, should be applied uniformly and not selectively. If you've been asked to move your vehicle while another with the same issue has not, it suggests a potential inconsistency in enforcement. However, the key issue here seems to be the subsequent vandalism and towing of your vehicle, which adds complexity to your situation.
Firstly, if your car was vandalized and then towed, it's important to report the vandalism to the police immediately. A police report will document the damage and can be crucial for any insurance claims or legal action you might take. The towing, if related to the expired tags, should have been preceded by a notice to you, giving you the opportunity to remedy the situation by renewing your vehicle's registration.
For the towing issue, you should contact the local authorities or the agency responsible for towing to understand the basis of their action. If the towing was due to the expired tags, you would typically have the chance to pay any fines and renew your registration to reclaim your vehicle. However, if you believe there was unfair treatment or negligence that led to your car's damage, consulting with a legal professional may help you understand your rights and potential remedies under California law. This could include compensation for damages or addressing any inconsistency in how vehicle regulations are enforced.
