When your car is stolen you can usually call the police but who do you call when it’s the police that has your car? That is right the City of Scottsdale has our car and is holding it for ransom. Ok they sort of do have a legitimate and lawful excuse for taking it. My husband got a ticket just before Christmas and thought he had paid the fine on line but he failed to make sure it was resolved. He missed the notice sent out that the ticket was not paid. So his license was suspended and a bulletin was issued when he was pulled over for driving with a cracked windshield. Long story short, the car was impounded, his license was taken, and my husband was left stranded in Scottsdale and forced to take a cab home after missing a bus connection. However, that is not the point! My husband paid the fine and got his license back the next day but they still won’t give us our car back. Instead, we had to request an impounded car hearing on line. After it was submitted, a helpful little message popped up. Thank you for your request and officer of the court will get back with you in several days. The backlog they told my husband is because there are literally 100’s of cars impounded daily by Scottsdale. Now we know why they do it. It a moneymaker. They steal your car, impound it, and make you wait several days and possibly up to 4 weeks to get it back all the while they get to charge you an impound fee. In the mean time we share a car.

Sorry that happened to ya. I will say that the police have slowly become less of a policing force and more of a tax collector. Hence why they enforce traffic laws aggressively than patrolling for criminal activity.
