If a vehicle is determined to be stored unlawfully, what happens?

In the context of vehicles stored unlawfully, the correct resolution is that the vehicle is released immediately and all fees incurred fall on the responsible department. This is based on the legal principles surrounding improper storage. When a vehicle is determined to have been stored unlawfully, it indicates that the storing authority did not have the legal grounds to do so. In such cases, the government or department responsible for the unlawful storage typically bears the financial responsibility for any fees associated with the storage, as they must rectify their error by releasing the vehicle to its owner without penalizing them financially.

This approach helps to ensure that vehicle owners are not unfairly charged for actions taken without proper legal authority. It reinforces the principle of accountability for law enforcement and governmental authorities, ensuring they act within legal parameters when handling vehicles.
