Bill overview
This bill amends California Vehicle Code Section 14602.7 to expand the circumstances under which a law enforcement officer can impound a vehicle. Specifically, it allows officers to impound a vehicle if it was used in violation of a motor vehicle speed contest or exhibition of speed, and it authorizes impoundment based on evidence from speed safety systems even if the violation didn't occur in the officer's presence. The bill also outlines procedures for notifying vehicle owners, establishing post-storage hearings, and releasing vehicles under certain conditions, including financial responsibility and compliance with specific requirements.
