Just a bad brake or Cop

Bad, I wasn't offended.That sounds a little harsh to impound your car. It was proably dictated by the local goverment's policy. Here we would have issued a citation and then voided it with proof of reg. and insurance. Of course we could not let someone just drive away.A lot of folks are injured by uninsured drivers each year.Why not go to court and explain the situation, might help. About all the cops here are into cars, even the Sheriff has a bunch of brand x muscle cars and a Super Pro bracket car.
