I went to the police station and they told me that I couldn't get my car for 30 days.....Even though I was not driving it or in the car at the time the police pulled the car over. How do I get my car back?

Under Section 14604 CVC, the owner has a duty to assure the person driving their vehicle possesses a valid license; however, if you allow or permit anyone, including: your wife, son or daughter, or friend or relative, to drive your vehicle and that person does not have a valid driver's license, you will be responsible for towing and storage fees. You will not have access to the vehicle for 30 days.
