Thus the regulations/documentation in regard to that particular Fine reason is vague and it should be updated so as to prevent further misunderstanding, yes?
I only fined because I felt it was appropriate to the situation, and as there was no proper ruling going on for such a situation, I went ahead with it.

AFAIK there is even a question or answer (correct answer) in the InSim tests stating that civilians have as much right to tow someone as a person playing as an official role.

I agree that while the cop has blues and twos on, yes, the rule applies henceforth. However, what happens when the cop isn't on sirens? Does that mean he/she has to determine if the fine reason is subjective for the situation by himself? (Which I did, and apparently it's wrong).

"...civilians have as much right to tow someone as a person playing as an official role"

Again, this appears to be only when it's civilian and the flipped car alone. Nothing is said when a federal vehicle or tow arrives, what happens next, or what is or is not allowed.
And if the civilian does indeed have an equal towing right to a official tow (which I find is hugely discriminating and makes the Tow rank particularly useless),
Shouldn't the rules guiding this be amended so as to limit, to a certain extent, a civilian's role with tow; or more to point, what a civilian can and can not do in the presense of an official tow-er, so as to lessen those chaotic towing scenarios?
I strongly believe each rank has a purpose and should have incentives to encourage (action of rank) playing in game. If a civilian were to have all the rights a tow has, what's the point of a tow? You'd be getting the rank just to use winch and ramp, while civilians can just ram a flipped car, flip it over, and conclude the tow then and there?

Seems odd to me.

Funny, as I too do not remember having more than 1 other formal warning.

Hope to hear from your opinion soon,
