Depending on the state a vehicle may be seized by police if a warrant has been issued for such, if a driver of a vehicle has been arrested, if a K-9 has indicated narcotics may be present, and multiple other reasons varying by state.

Vehicles can be seized by police during investigations related to crimes such as criminal activities, drug trafficking, or traffic violations. This is typically done with a court order or under specific legal provisions that allow law enforcement to impound or seize vehicles involved in illegal activities.
