After doing a bit of research, it sounds like the tow truck is doing something illegal, as they aren't allowed to tow a car if the driver is there to move it.

different country = different rules. That being said... Tow truck drivers are allowed to tow your vehicle even if you are there as soon as they at least hook the tires.

in the uk. if you don't have car insurance your car will be taken away an crushed no matter what the value. No appeals.

I think at that point I would just be satisfied with the guy in the tow truck not winning. Although it would probably be easier to kill him.

The point being that the tow truck drivers are essentially running a scam. They can only tow a car (in the UK) if the car is obstructing traffic(and the owner isn't there to move it). Since it's their word versus the owner's, and because the cops get paid whenever someone wants their car out of impound, the cops tend to believe the tow truck drivers.
