The agency insists sovereign immunity prohibits the suit, and no negligence claim can arise because federal law prohibits claims against the government for goods damaged while detained by law enforcement.

Remember, the Nazis didn't break any laws either. They just *made* the laws that they then acted on. Confiscating Jewish property? Perfectly "legal"! Little by little, law by law, that is happening now.

In any case, there is no justification for those two yahoos taking that joyride. If the car had to be moved, it should have been done on the back of a truck.

Basically a case of Big Government vs Big Insurance that has now turned into a pissing contest. Unfortunately for Big Government, Big Insurance has the money & lawyers to do battle.

Big Government is "self insured" which is other words for no insurance. Any successful claims against the government come out of their budget.

“Am I missing something? Because the car was “detained,” nobody is responsible for maintaining its condition? Not even the cops in whose custody the car was?”

Obviously they were just taking it out to charge the battery. /s

You are welcome, very happy to help. From your comment regarding replacing frame sections, it was obvious to me that the technology represented in this car is outside your experience.

Bald tires have been known to cause even 200 hp cars to spin wildly out of control on dry pavement at 35 to 45 mph. /s

More like a loose nut on the driver's seat.

That can easily be prevented by applying Rogaine to your tires once a week.

It's an insurance company that's trying to get reimbursed for its $750,000 loss. This is Obama's America and insurance companies are evil.

spoiliation of evidence.

the DOJ should be screwed as a matter of law.

Holder’s DOJ is the most corrupt ever so there is no justice at the DOJ
