The fines the illegal drivers received was $540. I'd like to see fines of $2000 or more handed to the vehicle owners for PUBLIC ENDANGERMENT, and make it mandatory they attend traffic schools. This in addition to all impound fees they have to pay. That, or allow the local community to auction the vehicles and place proceeds into the general fund of that community.

Good idea to make the owners more responsible. But, often, the cars aren't worth $2000. Maybe something should go on the owners' DMV record so that their insurance rates will increase (after all, they are increasing liability to their insurance company without their knowledge).

Hmmmmm... Could be an opportunity to take out both an illegal driver, and an irresponsible vehicle owner. That sounds good. Let's make it $3000!
