Just get them both fixed before your court date, and It will get dropped.

are u serious?? damm

I don't know where it got impounded, but before you go to the impound yard and try to get it, you'll probably have to go to city hall and show proof of ownership so they will release it. Then, you go to the impound yard and pay the cash to get it out. Just remember, the cost goes up daily. Usually $10 a day. I've done this a few times in the City of Atlanta. I'm assuming all that applies everywhere.

I wouldn't count on it.

[Thighs]

tag cost me about 140...
and that sucks. why didnt you have it registered? good job on ur part...

[Thighs]

[TRDwasiq]

hahah ^^ i was just tryin to see if someone had this kind of situation before and how much did it cost him.. thats it..

[Thighs]

lol. i really want to know why your car isnt registered...

[TRDwasiq]

lazyness..i thought tag was expiring in dec.. (i bought the car and i have all the paper work for it)..

[Justin.]

I got the same ticket on a bike I bought, not registered, no tag, no insurance...(just bought it and was riding it home), I had to leave it there cop didn't tow it, I just picked it up, towed it home and got all the paperwork fixed and ticket got dismissed.

[TRDwasiq]

should i just pick it up and till i get the money to register.(before the court date.) they will dissmiss it..) ill go tomorrow and see how much is it . thanks for ur help guys

[Dracc]

where was this at?

[RandomGuy]

pick it up ASAP, or charges will pile up

Take it to your house, Find the title
register it, get a tag (under ~100 bux total for your car)

Bring tag receipt to court.... Plead nolo with mitigating evidence or whatever... Tell the judge that you honestly forgot and how you're a poor student and you were on your way to class and it was an honest mistake.... Gwinnett county is really easy on that... I had a tag that expired like 3 months... I got it renewed... took it to court, they dropped the fee to 35$

I would atleast go get it registered and also insured if not already prior to picking up the car. It would suck ass if you got stopped on the way home from the tow yard.

Here's the deal. He can't just "pick it up." The car WILL NOT be released UNTIL he has the offense taken care of. The car's registration AND tag will have to be in order for them to release the car. So until he does that, it will sit in the lot. Racking up charges day by day. Later, QD.

Hence my post above. Later, QD.

Word on what QD said.

Life's a lot easier if you pay attention kids....go with the flow, not against it. It will save you time and money in the end.

[Init2winit]

are u sure.??cuz officer said u can get it out without the proof of ownership but if the cop pull u over he ill take u to jail..

Police officers don't know as much as they like to think they do. And yes, I'm sure. I've been through it several of times. But like I also said, it may not be the case wherever your car was impounded. I don't know if it is a state wide thing, or just a city thing. You'll find out soon enough though.

[ZeD]

my advice:

keep your tag/registration updated.


and **** like this won't happen.

yeah they ****in suck ass. my truck was stolen and they found it a few days later and stuck it in the impound yard. they DIDNT tell me they had it till like 10 days after they found it and i wasnt able to pick it up till 3 days later.

they charged me 100 bux or so initially, 10 bux a day, and 125 to send me a letter telling me they had it(on the 8th day)


they owe me my $330 back because it wasnt my fault it was there...... ****ing assholes

[quickdodge®]

are u sure.??cuz officer said u can get it out without the proof of ownership but if the cop pull u over he ill take u to jail..

Contrary to what itit2lose says, the officer does know what he's talking about. Your car will NOT be released until all court matters are satisfied. If you'd rather believe him over someone that has proven time and again that he knows what he talks about, then be my guest. But I'll be sitting right here when you hit ENTER with your post about having to fix it before you can get it.

Or you can always get the info straight from the horse and call and ask. Later, QD.

Exactly. The OP even stated that he knew the tag was expired. Later, QD.

ok so i went to TAg office this morning and got my car registered for 48$ also got the tag... and then i went to impound lot to pick the car up.. and i just showed the proof and paid 75$ ..thats it

[blaknoize]

Gotta love GA. They make is so HARD to get a car out of impound. I got thrown in jail one time for suspended license I didnt know about. (I really didnt QD and whomever feels the urge to comment on my comment) They impounded me and my car (basically) spent $865 to get outta jail, $145 on the car, $85 on the new license, plus gas to and from Ohio. UGH. Its a pain. So... pretty much handle ur offenses as soon as possible, cuz GOD GA can make it hard.

[DrivenMind]

Fill out a fake bill of sale to one of your friends and make sure they're in the car with you while you drive it, until you get your tag fixed.
