Response from the Secretary

[Anthony Joseph]

A police officer on the beat finds your automobile parked in front of a fire hydrant.

The police officer immediately tickets and tows and your automobile is now impounded. http://www.cityofboston.gov/transportation/abandoned/http://www.cityofboston.gov/towing/http://www.cityofboston.gov/Parking/payment.asphttp://www.boston.com/news/local/bre...n_parking.html .

If you plan on going to "pay" the fine, then provide the DL that they are required to ask for. There are ways to provide what is needed without agreeing the DL is an identification card. Everyone must individually decide what the law of necessity dictates at any given moment in their lives.

If there still exists evidence of adverse claims in the NAME, it will be extremely difficult to get the car out without going about it by "conventional" means. If one has evidence, however, that all interest in the NAME has been assigned to and for the account of the United States, then perhaps a different route could be taken. I have never been in that situation so this is my opinion only.

This is why the Lesson Plan begins with:


1) True Identity.
2) Record Forming.
3) Redeeming Lawful Money.


It is not a silver bullet but it certainly helps get the new suitor as competent as possible.

As a Bostonian, I can tell you that the approach described by Chex is guaranteed to get you only a surly attitude from the person in charge, and not get you the return of your vehicle. They are used to hearing all sorts of stories from people whose cars have been towed; and a sense of humor and/or a willingness to listen to claims of legal v. equitable title, and so on, are not part of their job skills. Anthony Joseph's approach is much better, since it will get you out of there with your vehicle. Otherwise, you have to decide if standing on principle is worth the loss of your vehicle, since it will remain on the tow lot until it is sold at auction to help cover the unpaid fines and stowage charges.
