RE: car got towed and impounded
i understand where your coming from so don't worry. a person always stands up and takes up for his own (unless he is spineless).
well, today i drove all the way to el centro to pick up the release papers. it took them over two hours for them to give me the release papers. they sat there and argued that because they don't know how to deal with international registration in their eyes i have no registration. they told me i either have to get CA or AZ registration and that i can't have addresses in both cities because it makes their job "harder". they were like "i've never seen international registration so you can't get the release papers because we don't know how to read it and come back with CA or AZ registration". so finally i had them call a customs agent who told them to let it go. then they called the deputy back here in winterhaven and asked his recommendations. then they decided against it again until i talked to the "main" county sherriff and got him to comply. then i had to pay 22 dollars for the release papers when they towed and impounded my car wrongly in the first place. then on my way back, i called the impound yard and they were like "well, for you, 150$ for the tow, and 30$ a day for storage fees, tomorrow makes 5 days so tomorrow it will cost me like 300$ to get my car out. when i talked to my girlfriend, she told me that they were trying to keep it so i would never be able to afford to get the car out. when i asked her how she knew, she told me her exes cousin runs the place and he was best friends with the officer who pulled this crap. she said they steal crap out of cars all the time so if all my stuff isn't there i'm probably going to get arrested again guys...well, in the long run turns out that if i had not gotten my car out within a month he was going to sell it to the officer that arrested me for 500$. my girlfriend overheard his wife babbling at the one little gas station in town. she was all excited about getting a mustang. pretty crooked, isn't it? anyways, getting the stang back tomorrow after work so i am excited and pissed at the same time.

If he really harassing you guys get a video camera and tape it! Then if he continued and you have it on tape he cant deny it. Also from what i know (at least here) its legal to videotape it when you get pulled over so thats what i would do even if nothing happens still kinda funny.

RE: car got towed and impounded
i would move but my whole family lives here and so does she and her whole family.
well, finally got the car back but those idiots were trying to steal my amp out of my car. i went and picked her up (the car) and went home. when i went to put the subs back in i noticed i had no bass coming from the subs so i took a look inside and all my wires were ripped out. so i figured they were trying to steal the amplifier. the only problem they ran into was the fact that i had the amp bolted (riveted actually) into the trunk bed so they would have to damage the car pretty bad in order to get it out and it would be too much work. but when they ripped all the wires they fried something internally in the amp and now i have to get a new amp. when i went back there they claimed nobody touched the car. long story short i'm out over 600$ for nothing.
