![Stop LAPD Stealing of Immigrant’s Cars](http://sr22-ca.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/32e24d4fe90.jpg-150x112.jpg)
The Southern California Immigration Coalition took direct action to defend the people of Los Angeles, CA from the racist LAPD sobriety checkpoints that are thinly veiled traps to steal cars from undocumented Americans.
pro-immigrant groups like SCIC have successfully pressured the LAPD to change its policy!! Confiscating undocumented workers’ cars at checkpoints supposedly set up as sobriety checkpoints has brought in some $40 million a year to local municipalities. Due to pressure from many community groups, LAPD relaxes its policy as of today so that if the driver of a vehicle doesn’t have a driver’s license, then if a friend who has a driver’s license can come within “a reasonable period of time,” the car will not be confiscated.
