Of course they do. IMO towing (especially here in SF where the price for getting your car towed is astronomical relatively speaking), lottery, all those types of gov't fines are really just a tax on the poor. If you're well off you don't really give a damn about getting your car towed a fee here and there, besides the inconvenience, but for someone who depends on their rinky-dink car to get to and from work, getting towed and having to pay a fee that is in some cases equivalent to the value of the car itself basically just fucks their entire life up.

I agree completely on the towing. On the one hand I think the entire process of towing is rigged and corrupt, but on the other, I think it's enforcement is completely uneven and absolutely targets low income people.
