goodmichael Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Why was the unit held? Was it a theft recovery, custody arrest, illegally parked? When were you informed that the car was being held? I really find it hard to believe that you had no idea that there would be fees associated with the car being impounded. Please elaborate on your situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goodmichael Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 It depends on the department agency policy. If the vehicle is held to be processed and is the property of the victim of a crime the agency generally will pick up the tab. If the vehicle belongs to an alleged perp of a crime it is generally at the discretion of the agency. I have seen cars held for months to a few years in criminal court cases. It all depends on the policy of the agency. Down here if the vehicle was used in a crime it is likely to be seized and sold at auction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rreschran Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 D ... Not all evidence cars are suspect vehicles and goodmichael asks a reasonable question. Now six-month later, what was the outcome in getting your car out of impound. Quote Randall C. Resch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProTower Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Some prosecutors offices have a victim compensation fund to take care of those type of things, but only if you were a victim. If you were the suspect of the crime you are likely on your own. Frankly after 9 months you probably don't own your car anymore the impound lot or state does/did. 1 Quote Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
