The police towed my car after saying they were getting a search warrant for it, but I wasn't driving it, and the car was a half mile away from me at the time.
Hello ****, getting a search warrant requires probable cause. However, California law allows impounding vehicles under specific circumstances.
- The Vehicle Code Section * allows towing if a vehicle is left unattended, parked for a prolonged period, or presents a danger to public safety.
- Penal Code Section * permits seizure of property with a valid search warrant.
Could you tell me more about why the police were interested in your car?
This was in Idaho, they've been harassing me ever since I was released from jail on bail, after I was wrongfully arrested, and all charges were dropped.
Hello ****, I'm sorry to hear about your situation. Laws differ by state, so Idaho's laws would apply here. Idaho's Code *-*, similar to California law, allows for vehicle impounding under certain circumstances. If you feel harassed, you may want to consult with an Idaho-based attorney for advice.
My car was legally parked, and wasn't there for more than an hour
Hello ****, if your car was legally parked and there were no grounds for a search warrant, you may have a case. However, it would be best to consult with an attorney in Idaho to get the most accurate advice for your situation.
