What did you mean by your comment "That should get him days?"

PS my car looks like a tard with a hole in the tint. I'll post pics if anyones interested but I guess this forces me to take it all off asap and hence thats prolly why he did it. He said he wanted it for evidence! :(

He put the fear into me cos he talked about impounding the vehicle, so I was like on eggshells. So I had to comply incase he flipped and wanted to impound it. can he do that. What come back would you say to prevent a cop wanting to impound your vehicle? PM me if you wanna be private about it.

Many thanks.

"days" equals suspension. Now...if he were taking it for evidence, that would be different. But, I would look into that further with an attorney for your state. Cutting a hole for no purpose is damaging your property. But, taking something for evidence....yeah.

Can he impound your vehicle. Shoot...he can arrest you, put you in jail, AND tow your vehicle. Case law provides that to police in Arizona vs Stillwater?...I remember it was something water. Basically, mom let her kids run loose in the car while she was driving. Officer saw her, stopped her, and cited her. He told her if he ever saw her doing that again, he was going to book her. Well...guess what happened next. Yep...couple weeks later, same thing. The officer booked her because she knew and refused to comply for the safety of her children. We can book you for anything except speeding and open container in the state of Texas. ....yes...if you don't use your blinker, we can book you AND tow your car. Most of us won't do that unless ...well, you understand.

Just be polite. I could have written this younger guy 11 tickets tonight for his driving...and booked him. Instead, I wrote him for Expired Registration, Expired Inspection, and No Insurance....which he bought on the spot to prevent his car from being towed (he simply called his insurance company to renew his policy that expired two months ago). He will only have to pay for one ticket...the insurance, since the other two can be dismissed. Yeah, I could have jacked up his drivers license, but he was very polite. Simple as that!

Without showing me proof that I did something so illegal that it merits having my car impounded, theres no way in hell I'm letting them impound my car. Atleast not without me in it.

Umm...with all do respect Boomer, don't do that.
