Not sure of the JC rules, but I was scammed this way in my previous city.

Guy had my car hitched up, made me pay $100 cash. I offered to pay by card, but he refused and waited while I RAN across the street to an ATM. He pocketed the money, dropped my car and took off. No receipt.

I later learned that the city ordinance defined a $50 max ‘drop fee’, and the company would have to honor it, cash or card, and provide a receipt. They implemented the ordinance because of predatory towing practices, but clearly companies were still skirting the rules.
