Stranded? How's that? What if the payment was sent, but there's a
screw up with the insurance company (that never happens, right?). You
really believe the car is going to get towed? Doesn't sound like her
worker's car got towed either.
Stranded in the sense that the cop says he will tow the car when the
guy drives it out of the gate..

If the insurance company screwed up, you fix it with the insurance
company. The cop does not care. It would be the same thing if you said
you paid all of those parking tickets, they still tow your car once
the warrant is issued and you stay on the "tow" list until the
computer says you are cleared.
Certainly mistakes are made and people get arrested all the time over
mistakes but they still stay arrested until it gets straightened out.
You have really lived a sheltered life. You certainly do not seem to
know much about how cops operate.
