Is it illegal for a tow truck operator to open a vehicle to release the emergency brake in order to tow?
No it is not. Most states are considered a "self-help" repossession. This means that a repossessor can legally repossess secured collateral as long as he does not breach the peace. This can include removal of a vehicle from private property since the repossessor is allowed to "peacefully trespass" to remove the secured collateral.
