It violates the equal protection clause to not tow their cars? How does that work?

Just candy-assed political posturing.

If a guy is DUI and his car is not towed, what's to stop him from driving again when he is released? Happens all the time.
These drivers are not DUI. From the original article:
Quote:
...Los Angeles Police Chief Charlie Beck said his department impounds about 1,000 cars a year from illegal immigrants at sobriety checkpoints – not because they’re drunk but because they don’t have driver’s licenses...
I'd venture a guess that illegal immigrants who are DUI are still going to have their cars impounded.
