Unlicensed drivers without prior convictions would be given the chance to avoid having their vehicles impounded under new rules outlined Tuesday by the Los Angeles Police Department.

Since immigrants who are in the country illegally cannot get driver's licenses in California and most other states, they make up the majority of the drivers who have their cars impounded for the infraction.

Disproportionate enforcement of the law with selective penalties based on one of the traits/conditions that our beloved FEDERAL GOVERNMENT has issued EEO edicts against: race, creed, national origin, etc. I guess Lady Justice really isn't blind, is she? Furthermore, I guess we need to start calling her Seniorita Justice, huh....
