First why was the car towed, was it towed for evidence, to the crime lab to be searched in detail ? If so, they will hold the car and the items in it, till they are done with the investigation. You may need to get an attorney, since it appears they have reason to believe there was drugs in it If that "powder" was drugs, they could even keep the car and take it from you. If they had it towed because it was not properly licensed and registered, you will have to get it done and pay the fines and fees to get it back |

So the cops can randomly pick which cars they want to keep on a possession charge,cause I've known people that have been busted before,and they never kept there car,the attorney prosecutor of this town just got busted with myth in his car smoking it by a sheriff, ills he got was probation,they didn't take his car,what I'm trying to say is that the police can make there own laws if they want to.

Basically yep, if they want to keep your car, they can file in court, when they press charges against you, so if they convict you of a drug crime they could keep the car. That is where most of their undercover cars come from. I know we had dozens that came from that. |
