Not sure why you disputed the charge.  I would've filed suit for assault rather than a chargeback.  Actually, I would've let it go and chalked it up to a lesson learned.

can you not sue for battery anymore? ask a lawyer

Correct, not legal spot directly in front of my house for 2 min.

So... you parked illegally, you admit you parked illegally. So on what basis did you dispute the charge?

I don't think he's asking if it was right to dispute the charge. Can it potentially be a felony/what's the worst that can happen?

You didn't get enough flak the first time you brought this up?

I run outside as they're almost done hooking it up and they start screaming and cursing as I try to get into my car.

When you came out, what exactly had they accomplished already? Please elaborate.

Irrelevant.

So the car had not yet been moved? Did you actually ask them to release it?

Keep in mind, towing for illegal parking is very different than towing for repossession.

I don't know if that's true or not in NJ, but my questions involve illegal parking.

Yes of course I asked them and they want $300 cash right then and there!

*If* you asked them *before they moved the car an inch* to release it, they broke NJ law.

Thanks, can you show me the source for that?
Does that mean that it wouldn't be a felony to dispute the charge as its an illegitimate charge?

*If* you asked them *before they moved the car an inch* to release it, they broke NJ law.

Quote
To fail, when so requested by the owner or operator of a vehicle subject to nonconsensual
towing, to release a vehicle to the owner or operator that has been, or is about to
be, hooked or lifted but has not actually been moved or removed from the property when the
vehicle owner or operator returns to the vehicle, or to charge the owner or operator
requesting release of the vehicle more than the decoupling fee specified in the tariff.

So the shaila is, that there is no comma after "moved." So maybe you would read it "moved ... from the property."  Meaning, that it was already totally off.

Come on, as a matter of statutory interpretation, such a suggestion offends me.  If you're right, it would render "or removed" superfluous, something the canons of construction proscribe.

Your suggestion:
Quote
To fail to release a vehicle that has not actually been moved, or removed, from the property when the vehicle owner or operator returns to the vehicle

However, the alternative is also problematic.

The other possibility:
Quote
To fail to release a vehicle that has not actually been moved, or removed from the property, when the vehicle owner or operator returns to the vehicle

Frankly, it is a poorly drafted statute. Reading it, as you suggest, to say "moved . . . from the property" renders "or removed" superfluous as having "or removed" adds nothing not already provided for by "moved." (To "remove" it you would necessarily have to "move" it.)

At the same time, reading it the other way, "but has not actually been [(i)]moved [(ii)] or removed from the property" renders the entire second clause superfluous, as again, removing it inherently involved moving it.

The only thing I can think of is that "move" refers to public parking space, e.g. on the street, where as "removed from the property" refers to property which is otherwise private.  If so, though, that would mean a person could request that a car be released even after it's totally hooked up and entirely moved from the private space, but still in the private parking lot, something which doesn't make sense.

Who knows. Poor drafting.

Exactly.

I guess it would help to see the whole statute. I assumed since it said "the" property, that all movings were from a referenced property.  But maybe not.
