It would be a safety hazard if it prevented you from shifting into neutral, for situations like this. Tow truck would have needed to put it in neutral as well
Sometimes but many cars also have a shift lock override that allows you to drop it in neutral, usually a small slot near the shifter knob the key will fit into. Dollys are only good for short distance and sometimes you need to get it on a bed.
The DUI device will let you shift into neutral? I thought usually you had to turn the key to get it into neutral.

Tow trucks dont have to. If they cant tow it on a free axle, they’ll just use dollys.

Depends on the car and device, but I think they usually disable the ignition, not the key turning.
Don’t most cars also have the little hidden keyhole next to the shifter, specifically for this purpose?
No not specifically for a bunch of alcoholics to move a car under human power.
But yes most cars do have that.
Okay, maybe not that specifically, but more generally, to move the car when it cannot, for whatever reason, move itself.
Even if that reason is alchohilism.
I mean it is pretty damn unlikely these days but it could be a stick
