NC law
Can the police keep my car? My son got arrested the other night for having 1 joint on him and some drug paraphanilia (scale). He spent the night in jail and they towed his car away, or I guess you say impounded it. Can they now keep the car?

Your son is a drug user, arrested with drugs and drug paraphernalia, facing a trial, jail time, probation, a blot on his record and all the negative ramifications on employment opportunities he no longer has, and you are worried about your car?

1 joint and paraphernalia are MISDEMEANORS - so let's not jump the gun. Hopefully this is a huge wake up call for this parent and the issue will be handled. Meanwhile, no, they will not keep the car except in felony cases - you just have to pay like $150. to get it out of impound I believe. |

You'll get a notice where the car was taken, and you'll have to pay towing fees and storage fees.

You need to make some calls and get your answers immediately. There are situations where they tow the car and then charge you a daily fee until you pick it up!!! So make sure the car isn't just sitting there, racking up a daily fee that you will have to pay!!!

Oh was it first joint ever? I suspect not.
Either he uses or he doesn't. If he uses drugs then........  |
