Yes. The owner will have to present proof of ownership and pay any towing and impound fees. That is assuming the car cannot be held until a decision is made on whether or not state forfeiture laws apply.

∙ 16y agoIf the car is in your name and no one confesses that they were there drugs then you are possible looking at jail time. If someone else was borrowing your car at the time and it was impounded you may have a suspicion of doubt and get out of it, or if you were driving it and there were more than you in the car you may have a suspicion of doubt or all of you get charged.

∙ 14y agoUsually that won't happen. The main reasons cars get impounded are: A) The driver has a warrant and nobody to pick it up, B) License is suspended and nobody else is allowed to drive (should there be passengers w/out licenses). or C) The car is unsafe to drive in the first place.

∙ 13y agoSome states will seize the vehicle no matter what. If the driver STOLE your car, maybe. If it was not stolen, and the driver takes responsibility for it, MAYBE.
Added: Either way be prepared to withstand some rigorous questioning and investigation as the authorities investigate just HOW and WHY the contraband came to be in YOUR car!! You had better hope the driver completely cops to it and leaves you out of it entirely.
