Titles For Impounded Vehicles

Law Enforcement Seizing Vehicles in Street Takeovers
Here’s an interesting new development from the law enforcement side regarding vehicles: they’re now wanting to seize vehicles that are involved in these street takeovers where crowds of people go to an intersection and do donuts and burnouts and all that kind of stuff. And they want to seize the cars. The problem with that is, what if you’re just an innocent bystander? What if you just pulled up and pulled over to the side because you couldn’t get through? Are they going to try to claim your car?

Challenges of Retrieving Seized or Impounded Vehicles
One of the things we run into a lot with vehicle titles is when a vehicle is seized or impounded—it’s very difficult to get that vehicle back unless you have the physical title in your hand.

Importance of Having Your Vehicle Title
If you don’t have that title because you lost it or never transferred it, sometimes the towing company can hold that car longer than you would be able to get the title that fast, and then they can sell it at auction. Then you lose your car and they keep the money. So make sure that at any given time you always have the title in hand.

Avoiding Auto Seizure Situations
If your jurisdiction where you live is looking at some of these auto seizure policies—whether it’s for a street takeover, whether it’s for parking, whether it’s for any other type of scenario—make sure you avoid the situations that could get your car caught up in some type of vehicle seizure where you can’t get it back without its title.
