Dallas Texas 'No Insurance' towing Ordinance....WORKS!

ordinance that if you are pulled over by law enforcement and not able to provide
proof of insurance, your car will be towed right on the spot and issued a
receipt for the vehicle.
impounded, you must present the receipt, show proof of insurance and a drivers
license or other ID to have your car released. This has made it easy for the
City of Dallas to remove uninsured cars that are typically driven by illegals.
Shortly after "No Insurance" ordinance was passed, the Dallas impound lots
began to fill up quickly and were full after nine days. Turns out that most of
the impounded cars were driven by illegals.
Not only must you provide proof of insurance to have your car released, you
have to pay for the cost of the tow, a $350 fine, and charged $20 for every day
their car is kept in the lot.
I would suggest other cities across the nation to follow what Dallas, Texas
is doing. Not only is it getting uninsured drivers off the road, but it is
taking away vehicles driven by illegals who have no insurance that might
endanger your life.
WITHOUT making them show proof of nationality or violating their rights or
'profiling'. Wonder how the ACLU or the Justice Department will get around this
one.
Brilliant!!!
Towing Ordinance - Towing Uninsured Motorist
Dallas Resident,
Beginning January 1, 2009 the Dallas Police Department will
begin enforcing the Uninsured Motorist Ordinance, approved by the Dallas City
Council on May 28, 2008. Under this ordinance drivers stopped for a traffic
violation who cannot show proof of auto insurance meeting state requirements
will be issued a citation and will have his or her vehicle towed at the owner’s
expense. The City already tows the vehicles of uninsured motorists involved in
traffic accidents.
The new ordinance is in response to the large number of people
driving in the City of Dallas without the proper state required auto insurance.
These uninsured drivers place an unfair burden on those who comply with state
law and maintain auto insurance. The Dallas Police Department currently issues
about 75,000 citations a year to motorists with no auto insurance. With the new
ordinance, the city anticipates fewer of these citations as more drivers comply
with the law to avoid having their vehicles towed.
To find out more about the Uninsured Motorist Ordinance that
amended Section 28-4 of the Dallas City Code, please review the
ordinance.
If you have any questions about this policy please call 311 (the
City of Dallas’ Customer Service Helpline) or 214-670-5111 when calling outside
the City of Dallas.
Comply with state law: contact an automobile insurance provider
and obtain auto insurance. It’s the law.
If it were determined to be unconstitutional in a court of law and the city of Dallas had to make restitution for all they wronged then HOW can it still be happening today once that case has set president?
It's my understanding that this is now a Texas state law which makes it legal for any law enforcement officer in the state of Texas to make arrest and impound the vehicles of those driving without insurance.
Why is it today something is legal to do when just a few years ago it was determined to be unconstitutional?
What has changed?
The Constitution hasn't changed, the only thing that has changed is a Texas state law.
Is this state law Constitutional being it was determined a few short years ago to be unconstitutional?
The states cannot write and enforce laws that are unconstitutional and have previously been determined as such.
So how is the state of Texas getting away with passing and enforcing unconstitutional laws and violating the constitutional rights of the citizens?
Somebody please explain.
I would rather there were NO mandatory insurance. If you want to take you chance, have at it. You just have to be willing to pony up if you get in a wreck.
And why the subertfuge? If you are pulled over and you don't have proof of citizenship, straight to jail.
Time to deport.
Why get involved in towing cars of citizens? In my Navy days, it would have more cost effective to let Dallas KEEP my sh*tbox car, rather than spending the $350 to get the car back.
In my first three Navy cars, I used to keep the car title in the glovebox; if the car blew up, I would slap the title under the windshield wiper, and get hoofing! And the cars were less costly than the insurance!
CAUTION: THE MUSIC BELOW IS SOMEWHAT ACCURATE TO MY CARS AS REFERENCED ABOVE, AND IS FUNNY. BUT VERY VULGAR!!!!!
It is a good way however to get uninsured off the road--at least temporary. Some people only pay the first payment for proof of insurance, then never make other payments. These people still don't have insurance, but have proof so the officer can't tow the vehicle. Too many loopholes
You can't make anyone purchase auto insurance in as much as you can't make em drink coke! How the hell do you know who pays what?
I swear, I sent the payment in !
In Idaho, unless a person is also charged with another offense, they are simply cited and allowed to call an acquaintance to "Come and take the vehicle off the street." Even clear up HERE, an illegal would simply call one of his many "legal" friends, and most likely later drive HIMSELF down to pay the fine. At this time, it is NOT possible for an illegal to actually OBTAIN a valid driver's license, so the vehicle is "returned" to someone who will CONTINUE to operate it in violation of the law, as with most OTHER actions said illegal does. That seems foolish to me. Why not impound THOSE vehicles also? Just a thought.
I lived in Sacramento Ca, not sure if it was just county wide or state wide , but either way last time i looked Ca still has an immigration problem , it has progressed to the point that they believe the American's are the illegals in California.

Sneel being the gutless wonder that he is blocked me some months back i guess i am not one of the SHEEP but here is your reply Truthman (ironic name)
I no longer live in CA and don't feel like wasting my time trying to educate you about your own states laws so here is a LINK to the DMV page at Ca.gov
http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/br...
This post is 5 months old and i said "All registered vehicles" learn to comprehend plain english also you again are wrong from the above DMV Page...
"If you are not operating your currently registered vehicle, and it is not parked on a California roadway, you may submit an Affidavit of Non-Use (ANU) via DMV’s Vehicle Registration Suspensions and Insurance page or by calling the automated voice system at 1-800-777-0133. The ANU form (REG 5090) (PDF) may be mailed to DMV.
Follow the procedures above to remove the ANU during the same registration year and submit evidence of insurance.
If the vehicle is still not in use when registration renewal fees are due you must pay renewal fees or request the vehicle be placed on non-operational (PNO) status. You are not eligible for an ANU. You can obtain additional PNO information at DMV.ca.gov"
Please have a Nice Liberal day and next time back up your ignorant statements with some form of facts links or proof thanks now bye bye...
Bravo Texas!
