This is a very interesting fact pattern. There is some legal authroity that just running the license plate and learning the 'owner' has warrants, may not be enough to contact someone. Also, the fact you were not in the car at time of arrest is a good issue on the search of the car (unless it was being towed from where it was parked). You should definitley consult a lawyer.
