Your car may have been in an area that was hazardous to other drivers and/or your local laws may have required that you stay in the area until help came.
Driving in an uninsured car has serious and expensive consequences.You will receive a traffic violation. Your license can be suspended.The police can tow and impound the vehicle. The vehicle can't be released until proof of insurance is procured. The impound fees add up quickly and the tow company can send your car to auction if the fees are not paid within the statutory time period for your state.
If your vehicle is in a private impound or police impound then yes. They only are obligated to give you without charge your government issued ID card(s), medication(s), and corrective lenses. They can hold anything else, even your house keys, clothes, food, whatever. Also if you "abandoned" your vehicle at an impound in Minnesota and the towing company goes through the legal process of placing a lien on your vehicle the property goes with the car.
I just had the impound yard tell me $654.00 + tax and they haven't even had the car 24 hours. Told the police I thought I was being ripped off, and they AGREED! Only problem is those lazy police officers (so they are called) just keep passing the buck while my fees will keep piling up! UGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
because when he sang the song bleeding love the police caught him copyrighted and let Leona Lewis decide if he goes to jail or stops his career.
Absolutely. They don't take the vehicle because it belongs to you; they take the vehicle because if you aren't licensed to operate a motor vehicle and you're pulled over, they now have a vehicle without a driver and they must take necessary action to ensure the vehicle is parked in a secure, legal location.
Contact the impound lot or police dept to find out what to do.
Yes, they can. The fact that they have no insurance and the Police were not called has no bearing. If they do decide to claim for any injuries, your insurance company will scrutinize it, but not necessarily deny it.
This question needs to be rewritten. A president does not impound people or things. Police departments impound items.
You go and pay the impound fees.
private property impound - possibly due to parked in a private lot
yes
you can ask someone at you local police station or Google "police impound"
Assuming we are talking about a police impound lot, it will depend on the laws of your state. When a police officer stops a car in your state, whatever paperwork he will ask for during the stop is the same that you will need to show to the impound attendant to get your car back.
Yes
ask your friend
Call the local police impound facility. Here in my city, it's downtown at the jail facility. If you don't know where it is, call a local precinct. I'm sure they can tell you.
Yes, if the offence has been committed, and it calls for a tow and impound, even if you are in the car and it is illegally parked, say good by
