A bill signed by Gov. Jerry Brown this week stops police from impounding the cars of sober but unlicensed drivers caught at DUI checkpoints.
The law, which goes into effect in January, will bring relief to illegal immigrants, who are prohibited from obtaining a California drivers license. They live in fear of losing their cars at checkpoints, said Luz Gallegos, of the Perris-based TODEC Legal Center, which assists Latino immigrants.
Its a great victory for all of our communities and a great blessing, Gallegos said of AB 353, which was sponsored by Assemblyman Gil Cedillo , D-Los Angeles.
Assemblyman Tim Donnelly, R-Twin Peaks, who opposed the bill, said it rewards people who never should be driving in the first place.
The vast majority of people driving without licenses are in the country illegally, said Donnelly, the Legislatures strongest critic of illegal immigration. I think unlicensed drivers are a danger and a threat to public safety.

And thus illegals gain “protected status”....
This doesnt apply to citizens with no license....the reconquista rolls on...
So, these people now have a right in California to be here illegally, and drive without a license or insurance, while Americans must have both?
I’m just the opposite as far as that idea go’s....I’d just like to be able to keep the money if I robbed a bank...If I get caught...Keep my car!...but don’t Fâk with my Money!
Why bother having all these damn laws and regulations if we aren’t going to enforce them? This is just flat stupid.
I was on the LAPD in the 70’s. I was a good police officer and I arrested a lot of people. But I always thought the car impoundment thing was unfair. Even then the cost to get your car back was extreme.

Didn’t getwhacha said.....please say it again...
Pretty soon it'll be ILLEGAL to be in California legally.
Hey folks, driver’s licenses no longer needed in Cali. Screw the insurance too.
anything else we can do to make life easier for illegal aliens?
Is it illegal to claim you have no license when you in fact do? If not then why would anyone stopped at a checkpoint ever produce one? What can they do? Give you a ticket? LOL!
Everyone in “Brown’s Folly” should just claim to be an illegal alien whenever you’re pulled over. It’s better than having diplomatic immunity! No paperwork!
