Summary

Existing law authorizes a peace officer who determines that a person was driving a vehicle while his or her driving privilege was suspended or revoked, driving in violation of a driver's license restriction requiring that person to operate a vehicle that is equipped with a functioning, certified ignition interlock device, or driving a vehicle without ever having been issued a driver's license, to either immediately arrest that person and cause the removal and seizure of that vehicle or, if the vehicle is involved in a traffic collision, cause the removal and seizure of the vehicle without the necessity of arresting the person. Existing law requires a 30-day impoundment period for seized vehicles, subject to exceptions allowing earlier release. This bill would instead require a seized vehicle to be impounded for 15 days, subject to exceptions allowing earlier release. The bill would make additional conforming changes.
