Violator Towed
In some no-parking zones, the signs read:
"Violator Will Be Towed At Owner's Expense"
Does 'violator' refer to the illegally parked vehicle, or the vehicle owner? Most dictionaries claim that a violator must be a human. Yet, a human violator is normally not towed, because it would kill that human. So, could the signs be poorly written?
