I was charged with a DWI DUI and my car was towed, how can I get it back?
If you are arrested for a DWI/DUI, your care will generally be towed. Sometimes, if you are in a place where your car is already legally parked, the officer will just leave it there. In certain situations, your care is going to be held for forfeiture, in which case you cannot just go and pick it up.
However, if your vehicle is just towed because you were pulled over on a freeway, for example, you will be able to get it back. The officer that arrested you should give you some paperwork that tells you where the vehicle was towed to. You will need to contact that tow yard or impound lot and set up a time to go pick it up. You will need to pay any towing and storage fees before they will release it. Additionally, if your license is revoked you will need to have a licensed driver accompany you to drive the vehicle home.
If your car has been towed due to a DWI/DUI arrest, give the experienced attorneys at Gerald Miller, P.A. a call to set up a free consultation.
