A)
once it is in the air

B) you have to pay the ticket,

C) tow fees,

D) and the impound charge

E) before they have to give you your vehicle back.

F) Since you were illegally parked you are responsible for the consequences=
..

I can follow the "have to" aspect of much of that.
But (F) is not tightly correlated with the rest.
It may as well say that because you were illegally parked they can crush
your car, or burn down your house, or auction off your first born child.

B. is reasonable by any normal cause and effect relationship - and if you
disagree you can take it up with city hall. Good luck with that.

C. "Tow fees" is an ill defined opportunity for gouging.
The tow truck came at your behest (unconscious though it be),
And it and driver has to go back somewhere (unladen,  and to await more
business if you car is not attached, )
There is a cost for that.
And there is the opportunity cost of the truck having missed out on gouging
someone else.

The impound charge (D) would be paying the full costs of a service not
rendered in exchange for a most questionable opportunity cost.
If you'd say that was fair then you certainly could not reasonably complain
about the creative financial deeds of the 1%.

(E) Why?

(F) is fine by itself but becomes mere logical rubbish when tried to the
preceding material. Leaving it off would improve the argument. A little.
