§ 78.04 SELECTION OF TOW SERVICES DURING POLICE INVESTIGATIONS.
   In all police-initiated towing of vehicles, the operator of the vehicle, if present and not incapacitated, shall have the right to select a tow service of his or her choice to perform the towing service. If the operator of the vehicle to be towed is not present, or is incapacitated, or has no preference as to any specific towing service, the police officer ordering the tow shall request that the towing service be performed by the tow service then on call according to the call list maintained by the police communications center. If this tow service cannot, does not or will not answer the request within a reasonable time, the officer will call the towing service that is next in rotation. When emergency circumstances prevail, the police officer may request towing services from the tow service nearest to the scene of the accident or emergency. A police officer may also request towing services from any company operating large cranes or other heavy equipment if necessary to remove traffic obstructions involving large trucks or heavy equipment.
