Wisconsin lawmakers have introduced a new bill that would give police departments the power to impound the vehicles of reckless drivers, those caught driving without a license, or speeding more than 25 miles per hour over the limit. The bill, known as Senate Bill 6, is aimed at curbing preventable deaths and serious injuries resulting from irresponsible driving behaviors. The legislation, introduced by State Senator Andre Jacque and co-sponsored by ten others, including Democrat Ryan Spaude, is set to be discussed in the Senate Judiciary and Public Safety Committee.
The bill, if passed, will allow police officers to impound vehicles on the spot and keep them for up to 90 days. The city of Milwaukee already has a towing policy for unregistered vehicles and repeat offenders, but this new legislation would extend that power to include drivers without a valid license. The move is seen as a way to deter reckless driving and improve public safety on the roads. The bill aims to give police departments more tools to combat dangerous driving behaviors and prevent further accidents.
