http://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/LAPD-Charlie-Beck-Impound-Policy-Immigration-Unlicensed-Drivers-139315048.html
A state analyst's memo added another wrinkle to an already complicated issue -- how the LAPD should handle vehicle impounds.
As the LA Police Commission considered proposed changes to the policy at its Tuesday meeting, a Legislative Counsel Bureau analyst raised questions about the department's proposed changes. The bureau, which provides legal opinions to state lawmakers, states that once an officer decides to impound a vehicle of a driver who has never been issued a license, the vehicle should be impounded for 30 days.
That's in contrast to Chief Charlie Beck's proposal, under consideration Tuesday by the commission. Under current law, if an unlicensed driver is stopped by police, the vehicle is impounded for 30 days -- a penalty that Beck said is too harsh in some circumstances.
If a person does not have a license, but does have insurance valid identification and no prior convictions, the police chief's plan would follow a section of the state's vehicle code that allows the owner to be cited, then given a certain amount of time to have the vehicle retrieved. The proposal only applies to first-time offenders.
0:25 of the video but critics say a 30 day impound unfairly impacts illegal immigrants who can't get a drivers license".

Yeah, we've been through this before.
It is too harsh considering drunk drivers can pick up their car the next morning.
Until the law is changed so that you have to have a license to own a car, I think the state is overreaching here.
It's a huge corrupt racket as well, which I have a huge problem with.

This is an update with new information, someone is stopping their stupidity. Luckily when the law was passed the Legislature did something smart and included an intent in the bill, the 30 day impound is meant to be punitive. A lower authority, like a local police chief, can not makes his own changes to the law, the state issues drivers licenses and they are the ones who decide the penalties.

They just have to get a license or not be an idiot and get it suspended, it isn't an undue burden.

It is an undue burden.
I'm a tax-paying, law abiding (mostly) citizen.
A 30 day impound bill would bury me. And I make an ok living.
The impound is essentially a mechanism to transfer private property from one citizen to another. At the end of 30 days, if you can't pay the impound bill, they auction your car.
It's an excessive punishment for a misdemeanor, citizen or no citizen.

It's pretty easy to avoid being in the country illegally and having your car impounded. I mean, you have to go waaaaay out of your way to have that happen to you.
