I was pulled over by the police for a traffic infraction.
My car was impounded for driving without a license (my license had been suspended but I had not been served or notice had not been mailed yet. In the best of my knowledge I was driving with a valid license).
I had a post storage hearing and it was determined that there were not reasonable grounds to impound my car (since I hadn't been served the suspension notice) so the police agency is responsible for paying my storage fees.
The facts presented at the post storage hearing were the same facts that the patrolmen who stopped me had the night they impounded my car.
The patrolmen acted malicously when they found out that I had a prior DUI that was reduced to a wet and reckless (proven by statements they made). There is an ongoing investigation into the conduct of the patrolmen.
Can I sue the patrolmen (or police agency) for lost wages from work from siezure of my car. Can I sue them for something else (acting malicously)?
Now that I know my rights and much of the law. I've decided to fight back for now on. I'm tired of every traffic stop becoming a hostile confrontation with the police. They should act profesionally and respectfully to their citizens.
Thank you for any help
