The other option the police might offer is that they would release it back to you under a conditional agreement that you understand that any future impounds for having a never-licensed or suspended driver operating the vehicle would automatically release the vehicle to the ownership of the agency. If you took him on his word, it may come down to your bad. In some states, if the police have the car on hold, the impound yard cant charge storage fees until after the hold has been taken off. So, you can either have your brother popped for stealing your car if he took it without your permission, or, you can articulate what reasonable steps you took to have your brother show you that he had a valid license. Different states have different laws on this issue. If the latter (that you knew of the suspension) you would be confessing to a misdemeanor in CA. You would then be asked what reasonable steps you took? Did you see his license? Did you KNOW about the suspension but let him drive anyway?

If he took it with your permission you have a legal obligation under CA law to make a reasonable effort to determine that the driver had a valid license.

Failing that, they will assume that he did take it with your permission. If the answer is, "No", then they will ask that you report it as stolen.
Here is what the hearing officer might ask you: "Did he take the car with your permission?" You have a legal right to request an impound hearing within 10 days of the impound and they must schedule it.

Is there any way for me to get my car out of impound if my brother does not take care of his license before the 30 day hold is up? I don't understand why they won't let me the owner of the vehicle pick up the car. when I was trying to schedule a hearing the officer told me we were having it right then and there on the phone and I didn't feel I was able to fairly explain my case.
Or was there a DMV hold or DMV stop put on your license and you now can't renew your license?.Did you receive a traffic ticket that you did not go to court to take care of?.
