This bill is necessary. We lost a Herndon resident who was a father and grandfather who was killed by an illegal alien who had 21 charges against him for operating a motor vehicle without a license and DUI. This individual was caught in Loudoun, Prince William, and Herndon Virginia but unfortunately was not stopped before he murdered Joe. Had they impounded his vehicle perhaps one tragedy could have been avoided.
