PATRICIA SAMPLES v. EDMUND G.BROWN, PART I
Vehicle Code Sec. 14602.6(b)'s provision that mitigating circumstances may be considered in determining whether unlicensed drivers may retrieve their impounded vehicles is not unconstitutionally vague on its face nor does it violate non-delegation doctrine where both statute and case law construing it provide examples of mitigating circumstances. Sec. 14602.6 does not violate equal protection clause by authorizing the automatic release of an impounded vehicle to a rental car agency while simultaneously requiring private individuals to appear at a storage hearing and satisfy one of the statutory circumstances for an early release. Sec. 23109.2(a), which provides that a vehicle "may be impounded for not more than 30 days," does not violate non-delegation doctrine.
