Police revise policy on uninsured drivers and impounds
King said the police department is revising its policies related to drivers with no insurance. Current policy recommends impounding on a second offense. The revision allows impounding on a first offense with officer discretion. The new policy, like the current, keeps the option to arrest uninsured drivers. The department will continue using technology to identify offenders.

King said any increase in penalties for driving without insurance would be up to the state legislature. He added that a law requiring drug and alcohol testing in fatal accidents would be a state decision but might violate constitutional limits.
