In May my car was clamped due to having no tax. That was fine it was what happened next that got me angry.
Less than 3hrs later my car was towed away. When I got it back it was damaged, steering rack shot to bits, power steering gone and they had broken in to the car causing damage to the passenger side.
I want to know if what they did was legal. The operatives say it was, the police say it was.
They also claim the damage was due to age not them. The car had an MOT two weeks before this.
Anyone know what the legal stand on this is?

Have you tried posting this in the 'speed, plod and the law' forum?
Much more legal knowledge likely to be living in that area.
