This is not a civil rights issue. This is an issue of theft although it seems that DMV is treating this as a matter of conversion. I recommend that you consult with a civil attorney about this matter. You may want to consider filing criminal charges against your daughter. Her misconduct includes theft by conversion as well as perjury and fraud. You need to take steps to have the car put back in your name as soon as possible and to get your daughter to address her responsibilities in this matter.
