Santa Barbara Police Chief Sanchez: No grace period for drivers without licenses

January 8, 2011
Despite pressure from a prominent activist group, the city of Santa Barbara has decided not to allow a grace period before towing the cars of people driving without licenses.
Last summer a local activist and PUEBLO called upon Police Chief Cam Sanchez to consider a grace period. They claimed that illegal immigrants were being unfairly targeted, and that sobriety checkpoints were often fronts for finding and towing the cars of illegal immigrants without licenses.
