So the LAPD stops a car driver has no license, no insurance on car, police there have enough time to sit around and wait to see if anybody with a license can show up to drive the car away and still do not require the new driver show proof of insurance. Anybody else will be arrested for driving without a license and for not having proof of insurance.Funny how these immigration advocacy groups have no problems diverting police from away from their other duties.

If the owner is unlicensed, officers will permit another person who is a licensed driver to take the car.

Car laundering, the next great California industry.

[The Magical Mischief Tour]

Most agencies in TN do that same thing, they let the driver call someone to come get the car or the owner can pay a wrecker to carry it home for them.

Impounding is a last resort.

You don’t get arrested if you are Rodney King. You get a citation and get treated like the illegal aliens.

Hispanic reparations.

Do you mean that if I don't have a valid license or insurance that I'm not allowed to drive and may have my car impounded? What is this country coming to? I thought that the rule of law has already been suspended.

If it hasn't, give the Kenyan a couple more years...he's working on it.

[ArmstedFragg]

...and the citation will be useless because the address provided by the unlicensed driver will be phony, and he’ll never appear in court.

Looks to me like this applies only to Sobriety check points the police do at times. It doesn't mention routine stops for other infractions ....

....the Los Angeles Police Department on Friday announced changes to its rules for impounding cars of unlicensed drivers at sobriety checkpoints.

Undocumented drivers now - what next?

[AwesomePossum]

Those rules have drawn the ire of immigration advocacy groups that said they disproportionately targeted undocumented immigrants, who are not able to obtain licenses legally in nearly all U.S. states

It's unfair that they can't drive illegally......they entered illegally..........they work illegally......why can't they drive illegally?

:}

[E. Pluribus Unum]

In the interest of fairness, licensed drivers should have their cars impounded, because they can afford it.

Punish the innocent, reward the guilty.

Anything else is racist.

[moehoward]

It goes something like this. Most Illegals are not only driving without a License, and insurance. They are usually driving some dilapidated $100 POS that isn’t worth the space it’ll take up at the impound yard. The “owner” will never come to claim it and it’ll sit for months while the authorities process the paperwork to try and sell it at auction to reclaim their costs.

Rest assured whitey will still receive the the full effect’ of the law.

[onedoug]

And the insanity goes on....

[lowbridge]

Under criticism that it was unfairly targeting undocumented immigrants

Yeah. How DARE those police officers unfairly target those poor put upon LAWBREAKERS.

I think we ought to get the FBI to lighten up when it comes to bank robbers too.

[microgood]

Sobriety checkpoints are evil and unconstitutional anyway. They are against everything America has ever stood for.

[flat]

well...ya know...it is pretty hard for an m-13 gang member to ply his drug trade with wheels mang....qué demonios !

[HiJinx]

Ping!

[goldstategop]

Poor dummy CA slob citizens have to get a license and insurance and are required to smog check their cars every other year to renew their auto registration.

It isn’t nice that illegal aliens never have to bother with all that stuff and not the LAPD is giving them a pat on the head?

Whatta country!

[calcowgirl]

Those rules have drawn the ire of immigration advocacy groups that said they disproportionately targeted undocumented immigrants, who are not able to obtain licenses legally in nearly all U.S. states.

It disproportionately targets those who are serial lawbreakers? Cry me a river.

What I simply cannot understand is how authorities can justify double standards. Illegals routinely get a pass on things that get the rest of us into real trouble. A few years ago Maricopa County Arizona actually had a seperate DWI/traffic court for minorities, they recieved lesser fines and sentences than at the regular court. The liberal thinking that created that was the belief that due to cultural differences Latinos and Native Americans had more issues with alcohol and therefor should not be held as accountable for their actions. Enough people found out what was going on and put a stop to it. Craziness!!! One of my daughters was rear-ended and the other driver fled the scene, the police that responded said it was likely an illegal and didn’t seem excited that the man hit and ran...the officer told my daughter it was “part of their culture”. Really? Hit and run is part of a culture?
