Will traffic police impound a vehicle in locked status?

[VonJoanna]

If the vehicle is sealed by the court due to economic debt issues, traffic police have no authority to impound it. If a sealed vehicle is impounded by traffic police, it indicates the vehicle has traffic violations or hit-and-run issues. Once a vehicle is locked after being sealed, it cannot be transferred or sold. If a locked vehicle is driven on the road and discovered by law enforcement, it will be impounded. Specific details are as follows: 1. Unsealing: To unseal the vehicle, the respondent must fulfill the judgment or provide other guarantees. If the judgment has been fully executed, an application can be made to the court to lift the seal. After the court issues an order to lift the seal, the order must be taken to the vehicle management office for unsealing. 2. Duration: Additionally, sealing is only a temporary enforcement measure with a certain time limit. Ownership of the sealed vehicle still belongs to the respondent, and the vehicle cannot be impounded, nor can it be driven or traded. However, vehicles are considered special movable property, and their sealing period cannot exceed two years. If the sealing period expires without an extension, the vehicle will be automatically unsealed.
