The specific laws vary from place to place. Many jurisdictions allow the confiscation of vehicles and other goods that are used for drug trafficing. Possession is usually not enough, but possession with intent to distribute can result in loosing the car.
Yes, I would like to think so since you were not the one with the drugs and was unaware that anyone had drugs in your car.
The police officers now are responsible for keeping that car since that car was found with drugs inside it.Added: It depends on WHY the vehicle was seized. If it was seized only for evidence, you should be able to get it back after the court action has been completed.On the other hand - if the vehicle was seized under the authority of federal law, it is gone forever and the agency that seized it will get it, if they want it. If not it may be sent to auction and the agency that seized it will get the proceeds of the sale.
Police Seized my truck. Illegal assets must be Seized.
They are destroyed.
yes if you knew and allowed it to happen ANOTHER ANSWER LEGALLY, your house, car, boat or whatever property, connected to the sale of drugs, could be seized and auctioned off (it happens everyday). <<<adr>>>
The car was seized by the authorities because it was involved in illegal activities or was being used in violation of the law.
Not enough information is supplied about the reason for the vehicle impoundment.For instance - was it impounded as evidence? Was it impounded as being used in a crime? Was it impounded as an unsafe vehicle? Was it seized for drugs? Was it seized pursuant to an arrest for DUI?
when a car is impounded you can get it back, by showing paperwork and paying some fees. when your car is seized, its gone, you can't have it.
no u have to pay for it
Yes
Yes, but the ability to do this will be dependent on the circumstances surrounding the seizure of the firearm.
If it has seized up it will need overhauled or replaced.
