Answer

Why do police tow cars in Palma in the first place?

Cars in Palma are often towed after parking violations, especially when they block traffic, occupy restricted spaces, or create problems in busy areas. Towing is meant to restore order and remove vehicles that are in the way, but it also creates a formal release process later. That process needs to be handled carefully to avoid confusion at the impound.
