SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- Illegal immigrants will no longer have to fear losing their vehicles during routine traffic stops if a bill passed by the Assembly becomes law.

In a move closely watched by other Southern California law enforcement agencies, LAPD Chief Chalie Beck has ordered his officers end the practice of immediately seizing the cars of undocumented immigrants who are stopped at sobriety checkpoints.

Meehan said the new policy was not necessarily designed to make it easier...

Initiative 100 requires police to impound vehicles of unlicensed drivers, an authority they already have.

Patrick Anderson, R-Enid, won adoption of an amendment to allow for the seizing of vehicles when drivers cannot show that they have insurance. His plan amends a section of law that now allows police to confiscate vehicles containing drugs. Anderson's amendment was attached to a bill prohibiting inserting microchips into Oklahomans against their will. That measure was approved, 35-13, and sent to the House for consideration.
