DUI Checkpoints and Car Impoundments

By immigrationprof

From Amparo Cid:

Dear friends,

Today, I spoke with one of the key supporters of AB 1389 and they mentioned that there is a huge need for immigrant rights supporters to call their state senator regarding AB 1389. It is 1 vote from passing and they need people to call Senator Rubio, Senator Lieu, Senator Wolk, and Senator Pavley to express their support for the bill.  Here’s the link with contact information:  http://senate.ca.gov/senators.  They only have until this Friday to get this bill out of the Senate and in front of the Governor so please spread the word to your contacts and voice your personal support for AB 1389.  If you’re not familiar with AB 1389, please go to http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/postquery.  Put simply, the bill pertains to DUI checkpoints and the issue that these checkpoints have resulted in more than 24,000 vehicles (2009 alone) being impounded at checkpoints because the driver’s are unlicensed.
