and it wasn't nice at all.

I mean even in an emergency, if the city towed the car to impound instead of who-knows-where, the cops would know where it's at in case the owner reports it, and if they make it free to pick up, this would still holds the city responsible for the vehicle.

Sure the owner is pissed off, but what are the alternatives?

Pittsburgh does this for the Great Race and other events that forbid parking on the streets that aren't posted.
