I feel asleep at a gas station following a long day at work and long drive home
Nothing wrong so far.
but I was awoken by a police officer opening my car door pulling me out of my car
Nothing wrong here either. I bet he tried to get your attention before opening the car to see if you were even alive. NOBODY is going to believe he just walked up and pulled you out for no reason.
then handcuffing me and putting me in the back of his car
Did anything happen between removing you from your car and putting you in his? A sobriety test maybe? A sobriety test may not have been necessary if you were showing obvious signs of intoxication or being under the influence. It appears at this point the officer already decided to arrest you.
I was not on Parole or probation he then search my vehicle and found a small amount of methamphetamine and a broken glass pipe
If the officer had already placed you under arrest he likely had all he needed to justify his actions with your vehicle. No warrant needed, and parole/probation not necessary.
i just got the car and I'm assuming something to previous owner had left in it.
Nobody on planet Earth will believe that. Tweakers don't lose their dope. Regardless, it was in the vehicle, likely in a location under your immediate control, and you will have to convince 12 of your peers you had no idea it was there.
I was arrested and taken to jail just to be cite released
That is very common these days for non violent offenses.
There is a difference between being towed and impounded. If the officer wants to obtain a warrant and search the vehicle further he may impound it. It also could be impounded based on licensee/registeration issues. What is most important to the officer is that he did on fact have the vehicle towed because it was his inventory of the contents of your vehicle prior to the tow that led to the discovery of the dope. There is a notable difference here- the officer did not "search" your vehicle but inventoried the contents of it before towing. Some officers screw up and "inventory" then neglect to tow the vehicle to avoid the hassle and waiting. This could lead to losing evidence. This is also true if they tow the vehicle and do not actually list inventory items.
Anyway... Still all seems legit.
the question is we're my rights violated did the police officer follow proper procedures
It is possible, but nothing you have provided here indicates anything improper was done. This is routine daily business.
the main thing was my car was impounded and I do not have the money to get it out should my car has been impounded
The the company or the police can tell you why the vehicle was impounded. The office has to give an "authority code" on the paperwork. My guess is that it was impounded because drugs were found in the vehicle, and where there are drugs there may reasonably be more drugs. An impound gives them time to check.
If it is not an actual impound and just a regular tow then you can recover the car at any time so long as you pay and produce the required documents. The longer it takes you to get the money the more it will cost since storage fees continue to accrue.
Borrow the money, get a loan.... If you don't pay you won't get the car back. A small loan should not be too hard to obtain if you are employed. You can pay it pack month by month.
