Appeal for Impound Control
2018.01.22
TO: The Court of Vice City
FROM: Office of Chief of Police Gabriel Adams, Vice City Police Department, Washington Beach

Honorable Judge,

Vice City Police Department has been given the authority to impound vehicles that do not follow common parking laws in the state of Vice City. The Vice City Police Department exercises this authority to full extent.

However, over-time, the police departments of Vice City have gotten overcrowded with impounded cars by individuals who have failed and refuse to pay their impound fee for a prolonged time period. At this moment, the law requires the vehicle to be impounded for atleast two months for the VCPD to be allowed to revoke ownership of the vehicle from the owner ((/scrapcar command requires that vehicle is impounded for atleast 8 weeks)). However, we find this time period to be far too long as police department parkings get overcrowded by vehicles of individuals who have not been seen in the city since.

For this reason, the Vice City Police Department requests the Court that the Vice City Police Department is allowed to revoke ownership of vehicles after one month of failure to pay the impound fee. Seeing how the impound fee can only be up to 1000ARD as per VCPD Protocols, it is not acceptable that the owners of these vehicles do not pay their fee's. Practice has shown that citizens who have had their vehicles impounded and remain in the state ((are still active)) usually pay their impound fee over the course of 2 weeks, or less. Therefore, we believe that this request is reasonable.

There also have been cases where owners of impounded vehicles secretly sell their vehicles, ending up never paying the impound fee, meaning that the police parking lots get overcrowded even more.

Additionally, the Vice City Police Department would like to request the parking lot next to the Naval Police Task Force is cleared of all state vehicles and reserved as an impound garage for the VCPD, so the police department no longer has to use its own parking lots for impounded vehicles.

Management can agree to removing all state vehicles and declaring the area as VCPD impound (possible gates incoming, same as fort baxter????)

Management also denies the rumour that we didn't know that command (/scrapcar) existed or was uploaded

Thanks to the management, the VCPD Impound issue was already resolved.
What is the managements stance on reducing the required period of impound to one month?

3 months to be consistent with the property side of things. This is to ensure people know exactly how long they have for their properties as well as vehicles.

Make sure to check my latest post in the Ideas section as I've had a few ideas to make this even better.

Thanks for taking my suggestions into action, Chief

Okay. However, I think that all current vehicles should be given a week deadline to claim and then get scrapped, as most of them had impound timers reset by moving them.

The Court notes HQ's statements and will accordingly dismiss the petition.

Locked. Any further details should be forwarded to HQ any legal issues can be addressed by a Court Case.
