Q: If pulled over, and vehicle gets towed spent a weekend in jail and day of court you get released with charges dropped
can i get vehicle out free? charges dropped with no explination, umdpd said i can get tow release slip when i get prove insurance and plates am i really having to pay tow fees with having charges dropped? the police had me realesed without speaking to a judge. I can understand paying to get tittle in our name but insurance? And $400+$25 a day?
A: Normally the tow yard won't release a vehicle with a police hold. So if there is one, the owner will want to get the police to release the hold. If police are demanding proof of insurance and plates, then of course that may be a good idea. If there is some legitimate reason for the vehicle to be released without those, you could try to persuade the police or government they work for, of that. (For example, it's a track car only.) As for avoiding paying the tow and storage charges, I'm skeptical you will be able to do that -- at least without spending even more money in the effort. It may be possible to pay to get the vehicle out now, then seek reimbursement.
