I'm guilty of the "that's not how we do it back home, line", but it's in the context of "I'm sorry, I was stupid to not make sure I knew local law/custom". The one time that got me in trouble was shortly after I moved to North Dakota. Everywhere I've ever driven, the law is that you can make a U-turn at a light unless there's a sign posted stating otherwise. In ND, it's the opposite. You can't make a U-turn at a light unless there's a sign saying you can. I got pulled over. I still had Florida tags on my car (it was literally my second day there). The cop was nice and informed me of the difference, telling me that it's actually a common mistake, but to be more mindful of it in the future. I said "Yes, Sir!", thanked him for his understanding, and went on my way.

A surprising number of people honestly believe that their local laws come with them.

Not sure where he was then because in my neck of the woods (well prairies) the only time it's illegal to tow a peace officer or police officer's car is when they're on an emergency call and that's when the lights are flashing. Hell, if they're issuing a summons and they get towed it's permissible and all that will happen is the fine gets docked from their pay when the station pays for it.

Twitch may have poor CS skills, but you gotta admit, by your description, gets the job done and does it well.

You don't need to be Mr. Jeeves polite to tow illegally parked vehicles. And when some asshat tries to start something, Twitch has every right to channel the Main Man...

SC: "But I've got permission to park here!"
Lobo/Twitch: "Izzatso?"
SC: "Yeah, the owner gave me permission to park here!"
Lobo/Twitch: "Well, Clyde, you see what's in this car here?" (grabs bad parker and slams him through the windshield of neighboring car)
SC: "Yaarrgghh!!!"
Lobo/Twitch: "See, dweeb, THAT is a parking permit. That is how the owner gives permission to park here. Now, do you see one in your car?" (pulls bad parker out of neighboring car and slams him through his own windshield)
SC: "Urrrgghh..."
Lobo/Twitch: "So that's 'no'. You ain't got a permit, you ain't got permission, now you ain't got a fraggin' car, ya bastich! Or a skull, for that matter."

That's bad customer service - what did the owner of the neigbouring car (the one parked LEGALLY with a permit) do to deserve getting his windshield smashed?

Be in the vicinity when The Main Man was feeling violent.

How do you think Al feels everytime Lobo stops by his Diner?

Besides, the innocent motorist probably has good insurance to fix his car. And if he's smart, he stayed well out of the way as the lesson was doled out to the bad parker.
