If you sell it for enough money to pay it off and pay it off with that money, you probably can. However if you don't pay it off the lender probably still has the right to repossess it and void the sale, because it did not have a "clear title" when you sold it and the buyer should have known that by reading the title.

I for one would never buy a used car from a private seller that did not have a "clear title" showing that he indeed owned the car without outstanding loan debt on it.

Another option would be to sell it to a car dealer. They will find out from your lender what you owe, reduce the amount they offer you by that amount (if this makes the offer negative they will not buy the car), and then pay off the loan to clear the title so that they can sell it. You are very unlikely to get much this way and they are likely to refuse to buy your car if they find it won't be profitable for them.

Are you liable for fees once police auction off your car?

It depends on how much they get for the vehicle. If it is a low value car it will be crushed but you are still liable for the fees incurred. If the car is in good condition then the car will be auctioned off and the fees paid from that. However you do not receive the balance of the proceeds. There are lots of auction houses which are contracted to sell motors on behalf of police authorities with hundreds being sold throughout the country each week. Two of the biggest car auctioneers are Mannheim and British Car Auctions, and there are several hundred that sell seized cars.
