A:
The good news is that seizure of your car is a civil matter. You should have received paperwork and a NOTICE of seizure of your property. That will have a case number and a court reference, so you can make your claim and get your car back.
The bad news is that there are strict time limits on making your claims. Make sure you check your paperwork or call the police who arrested you to find out the status of your car. Either that, or hire a good lawyer from Justia, to manage your case and get your car back.
I hope this helps.
