Under what condition is a vehicle considered impounded?

When it has expired tags
When towed at law enforcement's direction
When left unattended for over 12 hours
When found in a no-parking zone

The correct answer is: When towed at law enforcement's direction

A vehicle is considered impounded primarily when it is towed at the direction of law enforcement. This typically occurs when a vehicle poses a hazard to public safety, is involved in a crime, or is unlawfully parked in a manner that requires immediate attention. In such situations, law enforcement officers take action to remove the vehicle from the location, and this process is formally classified as impounding. While expired tags, being unattended, or being found in a no-parking zone may lead to a vehicle being towed or cited, these conditions do not necessarily meet the criteria for impoundment under law enforcement protocols. Impoundment is a specific legal term that indicates that the vehicle is taken into custody and held in a designated facility for reasons that typically require immediate action from law enforcement.
