The point is that you had not been made aware that a plan existed.
You mentioned that there were some potential pitfalls in the use of tow trucks. For example, the owners of the tow trucks were afraid of damage. They were perhaps afraid of being identified when the plan was implemented. They were afraid of not being reimbursed for the damage.
Wouldn't that have been the case anyway, whether the Emergencies Act was invoked or not?
