Connecticut allows towing companies to sell some people’s cars after just 15 days — one of the shortest windows in the country.

The sales have particularly affected low-income people, who have lost jobs after they were unable to get their cars back.

We’re investigating towing practices in #Connecticut, where companies can sell people’s cars after just 15 days. If you’ve been affected, we want to hear from you.

Any time it is legal for one group of people to do something that most people are prohibited by law from doing, that looks like #policing to me.

Tow trucks that steal cars are cops.

A tow company in CT can sell your car 15 days after it tows it? Who knew CT's legislature was in the bag for tow truck companies?

It must take nearly that long to figure out who towed it, where it was being held, how much it would cost to get it back, make payment and get the right paperwork. The rate of return must be astronomical. This is the state version of heinous civil forfeiture rules.
