Woman charged swearing fee by towing company

A woman in Huntsville, Alabama, wants some of her money back after a towing company charged her extra for using foul language.



Mahogony Grandison had her car towed when she parked it illegally while visiting a friend. She says other people also had their cars towed. However, they were being charged $200, while she was charged $350.

The company says Grandison was charged extra for cursing at them - something she claims she didn't do. "I explained multiple times it was not me. I even apologized for the person who did curse them out. They were not hearing it."



Police say a verbal argument did take place when Grandison picked up her car. The owner of the towing company says if she apologizes, he will consider giving her a partial refund.

How could they legally do this? I'd be taking them to court.

Guys, read the article.
Apparently it is not illegal even if I personally think it should be but that's what you get when you have unregulated private companies doing what should be state work.

And if you got a drivers license but unable to read signs you got yourself to blame.

I guess freedom of speech doesn't include curse words. Guess she had to pay it before he'd release her car. I'd take the Turd to court.
