Update…
The problem was not within the insurance on the Subaru that was fine, the lapse was on a previous vehicle when transferring the plates to the Subaru. So the cop should not have towed my vehicle, but just taken the plates because the problem lied within the plates not the car. (I checked with another PD and the DMV).
So now I’m pretty pissed off about the fact that if I want my plates back itll take 72 hours and 200 dollars. If I say fuck it, I can re-register it to new plates get the car back today and then after the 25 day plate suspension is up I can order them again.
Parentals are trying to re-register it as we speak and if so then I can get my car back today… sigh
