SB 824 - This act allows peace officers the option as to whether they will or will not seize a motor vehicle that has a missing or illegible identification number and relieves the courts of the responsibility of storing a vehicle that does not have the proper identification number. The responsibility of storing the vehicle shall be placed with the police agency investigating the circumstances surrounding the motor vehicle in question. The current law mandates law enforcement officers to seize any motor vehicle with an altered or missing public vehicle identification number despite any identifiable criminal intent.
