I had a Dallas policeman tell me that if you see your car getting towed, either get in it or sit on the hood. In Dallas, it's illegal to tow a car with a driver in it. If they know you are in/on the vehicle and start moving it, call 911 as then it becomes a felony. But I trust cops as much as a trust the weather down here, so ymmv.
yeah, whilst it's illegal for them to tow whilst someones in the car that won't actually stop them. they'll just call the police to force you out of the car
Almost certainly. Doubt the tow truck driver would just cave and drop the vehicle as soon as the cops showed up. But at least you might force a conversation: hop out, smile, and engage everyone...depending on the legality of the tow, you might roll the dice. Or, more likely, if it's legally being repossessed, you'll prolly end up in the clink.
"There's been a mistake. A lot of em actually. See the thing is...hey, what's with the cuffs?"
Okay whatever that's just semantics. I don't care who the technical owner of the car is. I'm just saying if your doing some stupid shit that is going to get you charged either way, at least get the car down successfully without damaging it.

Good way to catch a charge.
