I think it is legal, a handicap permit allows the car to be parked in a handicap parking place it is not a permit to park any were they want to. I'm sure the tow truck driver has gotten plenty of excuses from able-bodied people that were only parked illegally for this reason or that. It may be kinda dick to do, but their job is to be dick.

This is copied from the Calif DMV, other states may vary but in Ca the person who towed them and the tow truck are liable Parking privileges for DP placard, DP plates or DV plates In parking spaces with the International Symbol of Access (wheelchair symbol). Next to a blue curb authorized for handicap parking. Next to a green curb (green curbs indicate limited time parking) for as long as you wish. There is no time limit with a DP placard, DP license plates, or DV license plates. In an on-street metered parking space at no charge. In an area that indicates it requires a resident or merchant permit.
