This goes one step beyond, though. Being duplicitous and towing cars that they have no business towing is one thing but the sheer brazenness of trying to tow a car that is being actively driven in full view of everyone defies all sensibility.
Like crime should have a point, shouldn't it? Even seemingly random acts have meaning to the person committing them, if nothing else. I cannot comprehend how anyone could possibly think trying to do this in any way serves a purpose.
The only thing that even kind of makes sense is if this was done out of...spite? For being banned (like "they won't let me tow in their fucking city, I'll show them" - that still doesn't make a lot of sense, though)? I found the full details of this tow company after this video first landed on my YouTube feed but even just knowing they were banned doesn't explain why anyone would try to do something like this.
To put it succinctly: why would someone do something that, if they actually go through with it and "succeed", has a 100% chance of being caught and brings no upside?
