    The Police garage is charging inpound fees? In my area the car is held until the investigation is complete at no charge, the owner is then notified to come and get it, at that time a daily rate begins to be charged.

    What are the circumstances here?

    In my area only the owner of the car can pick the car up from impound - a third party can pay the fees with written, notarized consent of the owner.
