DESCRIPTION
This legislation authorizes every peace officer who has probable cause to believe and has knowledge of a motor vehicle or other licensed equipment that the number of which has been tampered with, to immediate seize and take possession of the vehicle or equipment. The law enforcement authority having seized it shall retain custody.
