Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.
I spent more than ten years in law enforcement, all of it on the street in uniform patrol. I've been a patrol officer, instructor, sergeant and lieutenant.
Do not report crimes here. Nothing here should be considered legal advice. All opinions are my own.
Varies from department to department.

Ok.

Maybe. Are you an adult and can you show the property in dispute was clearly owned by you? There are too many factors for me to make any kind of determination on what you might be able to do. Why don't you got talk to a local police officer?
Share Answer: 
No, you should not have been driving.
However, it sounds like you made the choice to drive after you found out that you were parked somewhere you should not have been. Where was the person who was supposed to drive you home? No one goes in for surgery and should drive themselves home, so what were your arrangements for getting home?
If you failed to arrange for transportaion, and then you knowingly drove when you were not able to avoid having a car towed is not a reason to blame the officer. As they say a failure to plan is a plan for failure.
If you believe the officer was out of line, you should be complaining to his or her supervisor and not here anyway.

Call your local police department and ask for their assistance. They will know what to do.
Share Answer: 
A "CPU" is only part of the computer system, and typically not the slow part. If the officer is using some type of computer, it is networked via cell data service. The network is likely 3G or slower, so sending a request (such as a check on the validity of your license) is not as fast as you might hope. Also, since many of the computers are running some type of Windows OS, crashes are common. Frequently, I have sat on the side of the road while waiting for the system to reboot. Also, if there is someone that has a warrant who has a similar name, the officer will do additional research to make sure he or she shouldn't arrest you. 10-20 minutes isn't a long time for you to be stopped.
