Yes, when it's done right, and Massachusetts is unusually specific about what right means. Under M.G.L. c. 266 s. 120D a private-property tow requires No Parking signs posted at all entrances and exits, and the property owner has to notify the local police chief in writing before the vehicle is removed. The tow is priced at the DPU maximum rates in 220 CMR 272.00, and if the company fails any provision of the statute it must release the vehicle with no removal or storage charge. The tow company, not this matcher, is the party that has to follow the rest of the law.
