AURORA, Colo. (KDVR) — Aurora Police Department statistics show 920 vehicles have been impounded under the city’s new three-strikes seizure law.
Ward IV Council member Stephanie Hancock sponsored the city’s new traffic law.
“I think the concern with our constituents has been, ‘Why are there so many cars with expired tags or no license plates at all on the roads?’ It’s very likely these cars don’t have insurance,” Hancock said.
In Aurora, vehicles can be seized when a driver lacks a license, insurance and registration.
Pictures of some of the vehicles that have been seized and sold can be seen on the Roller Auction website.
When the new law went into effect, FOX31 saw several expired plates in just one location. APD said there are also a lot of fake license plates.
