A:
You have grounds to consider filing a civil suit against the Plainfield Police Department if they violated your rights. The impoundment of your car based on a license plate scan, especially in the middle of the night, can be legally questionable. The enforcement of DMV policies after the overturning of the Chevron deference doctrine complicates the matter, as agencies like the DMV may no longer have the same level of authority.
First, document all the details related to the incident, including the time, date, and circumstances of the impoundment. Gather any correspondence, notices, or records related to the enforcement action taken against your car. This evidence will be crucial in building your case.
Next, consult with a legal professional who has experience with civil rights cases and administrative law. They can guide you on the specific legal grounds for your case, such as the infringement on your right to travel. Understanding your legal options and the potential outcomes will help you decide the best course of action to take against the Plainfield Police Department.
