The City of Richmond is hoping a decade-long battle may be nearing an end as guilty pleas are expected from a local towing company facing a raft of municipal bylaw charges, a city spokesman says.
A total of 15 charges — many to do with aggressive towing practices — have been laid against Paul's Towing, also known as City Wide Towing, said Richmond spokesman Ted Townsend.
"We believe this towing company has overstepped the boundaries and so we've taken this action," Townsend said.
The company's owners are accused of overcharging, improper towing, damaging a towed vehicle and even towing a vehicle with someone still in it.
The alleged offences were committed between 2002 and 2009.
If the company does plead guilty, the penalties would likely come in the form of fines, said Townsend.
"We've got other options which could include a suspension or even pulling their business license," he said. "All those tools are available to us, but our first primary is to try and get people into compliance of the bylaw."

I wonder why CBC won't allow overseas Canadians to view their content. You'd think that of all people, we're the ones they should be catering to a bit with their online site. All they'd need to do is require membership to view, with membership requiring a Canadian address...

It's bullshit how those people got towed illegally by the company because they're pleading guilty but still has no way of getting their money back.

One time I was parked in a time limit stall, and when I was returning to my vehicle, the tow guy had my front wheel in position to lift off the ground. He demanded I pay $90, and he took my mastercard. Was he allowed to ask for money even though my car was still there?>

not with our current back bone.
2 years ago, yes, it would have been like an asian handling a gun fight with a knife.
now... ehhh... we went over kill =)
there is so much beefing up of servers, networks, hardware, software, moderators, all in the past couple of years which is why you see me start going ape shit when anyone starts talking shit about what we rs staff have "not" been doing... Quote:
