Motorcycle impounded Help!
#19927172 - 05/01/14 03:00 PM (9 years, 10 months ago) |

So last week on the 24th i got pulled over on my motorcycle by the police, i haven't gotten my motorcycle endorsement yet and so the police officer called a tow truck and impounded my car with a towing company.
I dont get paid until tomorrow and since the bike has sat in the impound lot for the last week the total has come up to $750. My paycheck wont be that much and im afraid i might loose the motorcycle.
someone was telling me something about a "release law in Arizona" where the impound company has to release the vehicle to you. and just send it to collections. I live in Florida was wondering if that was the same, and if there is anything i could do.
Also i paid $600 to buy the motorcycle should i just count it as a loss and let it go?=''(?

You were driving a motorcycle without a license?
Yeah, I would write it off. It sounds like you really can't afford it and shouldn't have bought it.

Couldn't you just... not have a car at all? Live closer to the school? Take the bus?

I've never understood how it's legal to steal someone's shit and then charge them to get it back.

why do you always ask questions far outside the scope of the conversation?

Driving a mc without an endorsement ist that big of a deal, I mean it can get you a ticket, but nothing major. Shit you don't have to have any kind of endorsement to drive a 20 foot rv and that a lot more dangerous than operating a mc. Unless op was driving completely without a drivers license even, that's not very smart.
I don't know, is it worth it to have your bike back op? If so, by all means get it out of impound.

They didn't steal his shit. They correctly impounded it.

So is there a law where they have to release my motorcycle to me and just send it to collections?

They took it out of a public area and put it on their own personal land. Sounds like stealing to me.

It could sound like anything you wish. It still doesn't make it stealing.

Definition of "steal", from Merriam-Webster:
Quote:
to take (something that does not belong to you) in a way that is wrong or illegal
: to take (something that you are not supposed to have) without asking for permission
: to wrongly take and use (another person's idea, words, etc.)
The situation described fits all three definitions.

It doesn't fit any of them seeing as he was on a public road without a license.

Maybe you have some reading issues.
This situation certainly is not one that is "wrong or illegal".

Definitely wrong. You only have to have one for the "or" condition to be met.

He rode his bike on a public way without a license. They impounded it in accordance with the law.
There was no stealing involved.

Just because it was in accordance with the law doesn't make it right or not stealing. The cops can take your house without a trial if they think it was involved in a drug crime. That's legal apparently, but it's nothing less than theft.

Seriously. He can't afford his motorcycle license and you think he can just up and move closer to the school?
