That makes no difference in the end. The police caused you financial harm, with no restitution. They should be held liable for that under civil law.

Forgot to say that they also took away my driver license for a whole month. I wish I knew how I can get the tow fee reimbursed.

In my country we have a Small Claims Court for situations like this (under USD$2500), where you get to go before a judge and plead your case.

There are no lawyers involved and it costs nothing if you handle the entire case yourself or a small amount of money (that you can add to your claim) if you want to pay a bailiff to serve the papers to the defendant for you.

Small claims court might be worth a look. I'm not sure if you can sue a city there, though.
