If the DMV permits him to register the car in the first place, how can a police dept. refuse to let him claim the vehicle?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Terry Alan Nelson (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Nelson & Lawless
CAN they? Of course. They did already. Im not sure why the car was impounded, and that can be argued about, but now that it has, only the registered owner can bail it out. Storage charges are accruing, so do it quickly. He can take with him a person with a valid CA license to drive it away He may have to seek a court order for vehicle release if the police or impound yard refuses to release to him, whether right or wrong in doing so. Hell need an attorney for that.

What happens when you refuse a breathalyzer?

Aaron Michael Black
Answered by attorney Aaron Michael Black
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Office of Aaron M. Black, PLLC
If you refused the breathalyzer that the officer pulled out of his car ( the little hand held one) nothing will happen. He may have arrested you though. You need to get a lawyer. My position is that the breathalyzer is not admissible in court.

Who sets bail and how is it determined?

Matthew Murillo
Answered by attorney Matthew Murillo (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Offices of Matthew Murillo
There are bail guidelines that are set by the state, but a judge has authority to reduce or enhance the amounts. Usually, amount depends on current charges, past history, flight risks, etc.
