    Default Impound Reimbursement After Dismissal of a Ticket

    My question involves a traffic citation from the state of: Washington

    Posting for a friend:

    First ticket ever, parked in illegal zone. Got car impounded. Went to court for ticket and got it dismissed because it was a first time offence. Thank you, judge!
    Now he would like, if possible, to get full/partial reimbursement for the tow/impound. When he picked up his car from the lot they told him there is a form he can fill out and send it to court to explain his situation in court. We've tried looking up the form online on Municipal Court of Seattle website, but no luck there.
    If such form exists, could you please help me locate it?

    Thank you in advance!

    Getting the ticket dismissed because it was a first offense doesn't mean you weren't guilty of the offense or that the towing was improper.

    I googled a bit but couldn't find the form that you refer to or any reference to refunds in WA.

    Here's the WA towing statutes. Maybe there's something in there that will help.

    Yes, I know there is no entitlement for reimbursement even if original ticket was dropped, but simply trying to see if he'll get a break.
    Thank you for the reply and the link!
