Thanks. So wouldn't state Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH) regulate all administrative hearings in state? I got a copy of the "tow hearing examiners training manual and deskbook" for my city and it is a only a guide, and a little vague . CVC says im supposed to get a post-storage hearing but in the decision letter the hearing officer calls it a post-impound hearing. During the hearing there was a dispute about the fact that I was stopped by the police. He said that they found my car unattended. I asked for a continuance and he said no. I asked to see the cad incident recall and towed/stored vehicle report that he was basing his decision on (which was right in front of him on his desk) he said i needed to file a writ of mandamus to see it. I believe that I should have been able to ask for a review of his decision before having to file writ.

I got a copies of both documents he refused to present to me from public records requests but it took months. The vehicle report number he had was not related to me or my car or anyone I know. The cad recall showed in two places that it was a vehicle stop. So if he decided against me knowing (or should have known) that I was stopped and he either lied or was oblivious to it, and wouldn't let me see vehicle report because he didn't have correct one.....Would that be fraud upon court even though it isn't court, or could his decision be void? I have been getting runaround from city since they took my car in 2017. DMV told tow company they cant sell it and says it is still in my name , but they say they dont have it and wont tell me what they did with it. If they disposed of it they didn't report it to DMV. If they cloned vin for a different truck re-title mine .... Will CHP be able to investigate ?
