so friday im out crusing to the mall, cop eyes my car, catches up with me 4 miles later, pulls me over. Cop says car is unregistered with the DMV and is going to impound the car. Reach for my registration and cant find the new copy...S.O.L. Cop tows the car and impounds it for the weekend. Normally I have heard of the officer giving a $50 ticket and sending you on your way. Is this within his authority to impound my vehicle? Tomorrow morning the DMV opens and I am going to renew my registration but first verify that the car was indeed registered. I can guarentee you that I wont stop till someone answers for this mistake IF the car was registered. But as of now what can I do when the court date arrives?
Car was bought in 2001 and continually registered, evidently registration expired and was not renewed late 2005 early 2006. so since then it's been "unregistered."
I also CAN'T stress enough how rude and short the officer was with me, it was pretty clear that his only intention was to ruin my day.
So again, anyone know what my options are as of this point come court time? anyway i can beat the tickets ( failure to produce, unregistered vehicle, and one for no front plate.)
