Impounded to Find Evidence of an Offense

If a person is arrested on suspicion of a crime, police may conduct a “search incident to arrest” to get evidence. If the person is arrested for careless driving, the vehicle may be impounded by the police.

If your vehicle disrupts public spaces, such as blocking an entrance, police have the legal authority to impound and remove it. If you park your car in a public place and it blocks traffic, your vehicle may threaten public safety (due to broken glass, leaking fluid, etc.) and be impounded.

It is taken to the police pound, where charges begin to be charged daily for its impoundment. Release My Vehicle has long-term solutions to get your vehicle back on the road.
