What is a common reason for a statutory authority tow?

A common reason for a statutory authority tow is indeed related to the vehicle not being properly plated. In the context of Indiana traffic laws, if a vehicle is found without valid registration plates or if the registration is expired, this can constitute a violation of state laws. Law enforcement officers have the authority to tow such vehicles to ensure compliance with registration requirements.

This action is generally taken to maintain safety on the roads and ensure that all vehicles are in accordance with legal standards. Properly registered vehicles contribute to effective law enforcement and help in tracking ownership, thus preventing stolen vehicles from being used anonymously on public roads.
