Official statutory text
When any means of conveyance is seized pursuant to Section 11306, the owner thereof or any other person otherwise entitled to possession thereof may apply to the court in which the action is pending for leave to file bond and regain possession of the means of conveyance during the pendency of the proceedings. The bond shall be in an amount determined by the judge to be the actual value of the means of conveyance at the time of its release. Upon giving said bond conditioned upon compliance with the terms of any temporary writ of injunction entered in the action and upon the return of the means of conveyance to the custody of the court in the event the same is ordered forfeited, the person on whose behalf such bond is given shall be put in possession of said means of conveyance and may use it until it is finally ordered delivered up and forfeited, if such be the judgment of the court.
