If the land was posted with a no trespassing sign, or there was some means by which it would have been made clear to you that it was private land, it would likely be towed away or wheel locked.
if there was no way that you could have known that the land was private, you should appeal the fine. because that is what it is.
Take pictures of everything that happened in the area in order to prove your case, then see a lawyer and file a suit against the owner of the land, or sue them in small claims court.

No I haven't. I have had a big "no parking allowed' sticker slapped on my windshield, right in my line of sight. I did not see restrictions for parking, because I backed my car into a parking space and didn't see the sign. I tried to convince him it was an honest mistake, but
the business owner didn't care.
In hindsight, I was in the wrong. I should have been more aware and looked around carefully to make sure I was allowed on the site.

I understand that it is illegal to clamp unless there is a sign clearly stating that clamping is in operation. If you remove an illegal clamp, do not remove any of the parts, as that is theft. If you damage the clamp, that may be illegal also. Criminal damage or something. You could just shoot the b*****d who put it on.
