yes it can.
It depends on the legal jurisdiction, and the decision of the officer who made the stop. But, yes, in many locales you car can be impounded.
Depending on the reason it was impounded makes a difference. I have has this experience before. They were busted for driving without insurance and my car was impounded. I had to get proof of insurace and go to the police station where it was impounded from show them my proof of insurance and then they handed me a release to get my car from impoundment. Then I had to take the release to the yard and then I was able to get it out. Depending on where you are from can make all the difference in the world also. i would say yes if you take in documents proving that the car belongs to you eg insurance, log book (pink slip), and documents proving who you are eg photo id and prof of address.
Contact local police station in the town where the car was impounded. they should have that information available
pay your bill (or your tickets) and have proof of insurance and ownership.Added: If the vehicle was impounded as evidence, or as the 'fruits of crime,' you will have to get a court order.
Yes the police have the athority
I think you'll get your car impounded.(in the USA)
forever
It can be impounded in some states.
Hardly ... one of your responsibilities as a driver of an automobile is to actually have a license to drive. Most likely your car will be impounded until you can show proof that you are properly authorized to operate a motor vehicle.
I think you need to get a driver's license in any state to get car insurance period. An insurance company will not supply you with insurance if they don't have proof that you are licensed to do so. My suggestion to you...get a license!
To get tags the car must be registered.To register a car most states require proof of insurance.
Yes. You CAN retreive personal property (and your tag) from an impounded vehicle. There should be no charge for the storage of the property, however you will need proof of ownership of the vehicle. Repossessions are treated differently and you would most likely incur storage charges for your personal property. (Florida)
