Best Answer

When it is parked illegally, abandoned:

  • on a city street (each jurisdiction as to what is abandoned, in front of my house is 7 days)
  • busy or unsafe location ( EG: freeway shoulder )
  • Parked on private property without property owners permission
  • Any time the driver is arrested (regardless if he is the owner or why he is arrested)
  • Many crimes in North America require the seizing of assets for conviction (proceeds of criminal business)

If you do something making your car liable to be towed, it can legally be towed the moment you're in violation, whether parking in a prohibited area, being on a public roadway with expired tags, whatever. Either the police can initiate the tow, or a private party can initiate the tow to have your vehicle removed from their property.
