It depends on the country/state/town where you live and the local laws that apply there, but in essence the police only have the rights to act within or under those laws.
- For instance if you car was parked where the local laws designated there should be no parking your car may be liable for impounding.
- If the police suspect the car has been involved in a crime they may impound it.
- If it was parked on a public highway and was not properly licensed or insured they could impound it.
If it has been impounded why do you not go and ask them why? - It may be hard for you to accept, but there will be a valid reason.

Yes. There is nothing in the law that says police must have their lights on on the side of the road.
