Here's an interesting new development from the law enforcement side of vehicles. They now want to seize vehicles that are involved in these street takeovers, where crowds of people gather at an intersection to do donuts, burnouts, and other reckless activities. The issue with this is, what if you're just an innocent bystander? What if you just pulled up and pulled over on the side because you couldn't get through? Are they going to try to claim your car?

One of the things we run into a lot with vehicle titles is that when a vehicle is seized or impounded, it becomes very difficult to get that vehicle back unless you have the physical title in your hand.

And you will be back in your video in just a few seconds. In the meantime, remember that actualhum.com offers live one-on-one private video consultations with an expert in this exact subject. We want to listen to your story, hear your questions, give you expert advisement on your options, and share what we know about your particular situation.

Now, back to your video. If you don’t have that title because you lost it or never transferred it, sometimes the towing company can hold that car longer than the time it would take you to get the title. Then, they can sell it at an auction, causing you to lose your car while they keep the money. So, make sure that at any given time, you always have the title in hand.

If your jurisdiction is looking at some of these auto seizure policies—whether for a street takeover, parking violations, or any other scenario—avoid situations that could get your car caught up in a vehicle seizure where you can't get it back without its title.
