What to do if my car was seized because my boyfriend was driving with a revoked license?
My boyfriend was driving my car with me as a passenger. He had a revoked license for DWIseveral years ago. We got pulled over and the cops asked if I knew that his license was revoked and I said yes; they asked if I knew it was revoked for DUI and I said no. They seized my car. However, the only way they were able to do that is not because it was revoked which I admitted to knowing but because it was revoked specifically for DUI which I told them I did not know.

If you knew that your boyfriend was driving on a suspended vehicle and he was pulled over with you in the vehicle and the car was impounded, the way to get your vehicle back is to petition the court for its return and you will then need to pay its storage costs.
Since you knew he had a suspended license, you should never have allowed him to be driving your vehicle.
