"Predatory towing" crack down
Philadelphia mayor Jim Kenney has signed a law aimed at cracking down on predatory towing in the city

CENTER CITY (WPVI) -- Philadelphia mayor Jim Kenney has signed a law aimed at cracking down on predatory towing in the city.

Starting February 1, private towing companies cannot tow cars from private lots of driveways, unless they have been ticketed by a city agency first.

The legislation also allows the P.P.A, university police and SEPTA to coordinate with Philadelphia police on ticketing, and towing.
