(C) An officer shall have the right, pursuant to this section, to enter persons' private property to attach a tag to any vehicle which is in violation of § 90.03. Further, any officer or member of an appropriate towing service may enter upon private property to remove and store any vehicle which is in violation of § 90.03 and pursuant to division (B) above.
