After Safe-Parking Exit, Palo Alto RV Tow Raises Questions About Grace, Disability, and Public-Space Enforcement

VINI News founder Vinita Duniphin says Palo Alto police impounded her RV for expired tags on June 1, 2026 after she asked for a few hours to move it, go to DMV, drive it, or arrange AAA towing. New reporting raises questions about towing costs, release barriers, disability, vehicle homes, and whether reasonable alternatives were available before a home-on-wheels was removed.
