DETROIT – A judge has struck down portions of a Michigan towing law as unconstitutional after low-income Detroit residents shared extraordinary stories of high fees and frustration about the whereabouts of their vehicles. The decision by U.S. District Judge Judith Levy could force changes in a law that's viewed as favorable to the towing industry. There was no maximum deadline to report a towed vehicle under the law, attorney Jason Katz said Wednesday. The law also required vehicle owners to pay any towing and storage fees before getting a court hearing to challenge a car's impoundment. While the case only involved Detroit, Levy's decision could be applied elsewhere in Michigan, Katz said.
