Again, your ignorance has blinded your ability to present a rational argument.
A 24 hour suspension is a provincial regulation that allows police to suspend a driver when they suspect the driver has been drinking. This suspicion can be formulated three ways: 1) Admission bythe driver of consuming alcohol 2) Indictia of impairment (smell, speech, etc) 3) The administration of a 'roadside' test and registering a 'warn'.
I am a little unsure of what you mean by 'fine'. Do you mean that you were 'fine' to drive or that your blood alcohol concentration was zero?
As far as towing goes, police are again given those powers provincially. If the car is illegally parked or in a hazardous spot, they have legal authority to tow. If it is legally parked or there is another person (sober) that can drive, then it will not be towed.
Have a read of the Traffic Safety Act.
