i'm thinking that it's because i had out of state plates on it. if there's somebody i can talk to because it's just too expensive. any information is greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the exciting world of police-run cartheft rackets.

Tennessee Highway Patrol Wrecker Services Manual puts limits of "non-consentual" towing fees for car crash victims. Key word is NON.

Towtruckers illegally use a bait-and-switch fraud scheme to convert non-censentual to consentual towing charges. "Consentual" towing allegedly has no upper limit on fees, IF A PERSON KNOWINGLY CONSENTS, but such inflated charges never apply when THP calls the wrecker driver on a Rotational List.

49 US Code § 14501(c)(2)(C). Federal authority over intrastate transportation, allows local government to set max fees for NON-consentual towing. Formerly titled the Federal Aviation Administration Authorization Act (FAAA Act). Lying scumbag lawyers employed by govt and towtruckers falsely allege this law "pre-empts" local laws setting limits on non-consentual towing rendering void. THIS IS A LIE. Read the law for yourself.

Any fee over $500 is a felony theft under TN Code, and can be prosecuted through a county grand jury, a county judicial commissioner, a county criminal court judge, or by citizens arrest. Example of Affidavit of Probable Cause for Criminal Complaint for cartheft by towtruck.

Any person can file criminal charges against any other person, or make a citizens arrest.

1. Go to a state grand jury without a prosecutor and file an Affidavit of Probable Cause for Criminal Complaint, and the grand jury can issue a presentment (not an indictment).

2. Go to a state judicial commissioner or court clerk (no requirement to be a lawyer) and file an Affidavit of Probable Cause for Criminal Complaint seeking an arrest warrant.

3. Go to a judge in any state court with jurisdiction to handle criminal cases and file an Affidavit of Probable Cause for Criminal Complaint seeking an arrest warrant. If a judge refuses to issue an arrest warrant he can file an appeal, all the way to the US Supreme Court if required.

4. Make a citizens arrest under state law, then take the prisoner directly to a judicial commissioner, court clerk or state judge and file an Affidavit of Probable Cause for Criminal Complaint seeking an arrest warrant.

5. Go to a U.S. prosecutor and file an Affidavit of Probable Cause for Criminal Complaint. Fed prosecutors allege they can block citizens from appearing alone before a fed grand jury.

6. Appear before any fed judge and file an Affidavit of Probable Cause for Criminal Complaint seeking an arrest warrant. If a judge refuses to issue an arrest warrant he can file an appeal, all the way to the US Supreme Court if required.

A victim can also sue a civil action in state or federal court. Often it is mandatory to file an administrative claim, before getting a "right to sue letter" denying the claim. This is basically an insurance claim, since govt don't buy no stunkin insurance and "self insures".

An administrative claim for damages is filed with the State of Tennessee Claims Commission, against TN Highway Patrol and its wrecker contractor.

Tennessee Claims Commission

Tennessee Department of Treasury

The Claims Commission adjudicates claims involving tax recovery, state employee workers' compensation, and alleged negligence by state officials or agencies (e.g., negligent care, custody, or control of persons, personal property, or animals; professional malpractice; negligent operation or maintenance of a motor vehicle; and dangerous conditions on state-maintained highways or state controlled real property). These claims are payable from the Risk Management Fund. Damages are limited to $300,000 per claimant and $1,000,000 per occurrence. The Claims Commission also adjudicates contract claims involving the State.

A full list of the areas over which the Claims Commission has jurisdiction can be found in T.C.A. 9-8-307.

In addition, the commission awards compensation to victims of crime through the Criminal Injuries Compensation Fund. The Treasury Department's Division of Claims Administration is responsible for paying all claims.

Example of a Claims Commission court order involving cartheft.

Cops routinely are paid illegal kickbacks from wrecker companies to violate towing laws, which can be prosecuted as felony bribery, extortion and solicitation.

butlers wrecker services

BUTLERS is a rip off... im thinking of getting me a winch and putting it on a truck and bringing it up there.... to use.. FOR A VERY REASONABLE PRICE. no matter what it takes to get to it.... i use to run a wrecker service, and EVERYONE of them take advantages of these situations... they are NO rules on what they can or have to charge for winch outs... remember 4-5 years ago when fountain city wrecker had part of the city of knoxville contract, and lost it due to gouging... it happens.. all the time... i quit after a while, because i honestly didnt think it was my place to screw people in a time of need.. no matter if the alternator went out, or they went off an enbankment.. but the owner found it to profitable for him... greed is killing america

That was me who got Fountain City Wrecker fired. And they never even towed my car.

The Dragonater filed three class actions against tow truckers and police in Knox County TN, and filed felony charges with state police and other agencies, resulting in over 100 towtruckers fired and banned for 5 years. But I never got my two stolen cars back, nobody went to jail, no govt employees got fired, and my lawyer got two guns put to his head and promised to "blow your brains out if you don't do what you're told" and drop the cases.

These are mob rackets (jewish/Italian/Dixie Mafia), and killing cops or towtruckers is SOP in TN. These same towtruckers in TN run the worldwide cartheft rackets, including towing cars in USA to use for "Al Qaeda" carbombs to kill US troops in Iraq according to FBI. The "world's largest" multi-billion TN towing cartel appears to have been partnered with Carlyle Group, which now brags it has the "world's largest" towing cartel. Carlyle Group is owned by the Nazi George Bushes, German Nazi Queen of England, and the jewish Bin Laden family of Israeli CIA agents.

Since The Dragonater is permanently banned from East Tennessee Riders forum by Alabama police mods of ETR, this is the only legit answer you will get. Forward and repost, or cower in fear.

Tennessee Claims Commission and Negligence by State Employees

by Baker Associates Law Firm

As citizens of the state of Tennessee, we expect state officials to drive safely, to construct and maintain safe streets, and to remove dangerous conditions. To enforce these expectations (or duties), the Tennessee State Legislature created the Claims Commission in 1984 to allow members of the public to sue the State for damages caused by the negligence of its employees.

A person can bring a negligence claim before the Claims Commission only if the injury was caused by the negligent acts of a state employee (or agency). A state employee means any person who is a state official or any person who is employed in the service of the state.

Under the Claims Commission Act, the state of Tennessee is liable in the same way as a private person or business. Specifically, the State is liable for the following negligent acts:

Tennessee car accidents involving the negligence of an operator of a state vehicle;
Nuisances created or maintained by the state. In the law, a nuisance is the use of property that interferes with the legal rights of others by causing damage, annoyance, or inconvenience.

Negligent creation or maintenance of dangerous conditions.

Legal or Tennessee medical malpractice by a state employee.

Negligent care, custody and control of persons, personal property, or animals.

Negligent construction of state sidewalks and buildings.

Negligent construction, inspection, and maintenance of public roads and highway designated by TDOT as being on the state system of highways.

If you have been injured because of the negligent driving of a state official, negligent road design, or other dangerous condition created by a state employee or agency, help keep Tennessee safe by learning more about your rights.
