A law enforcement officer who reasonably believes that a person is driving an uninsured vehicle in violation of ORS 806.010, is driving without a valid driver’s license in violation of ORS 807.010(1), or is driving while their driver’s license is suspended in violation of ORS 811.175 and 819.180, and who issues a citation into Municipal Court to the driver for that offense may, without prior notice, order the vehicle impounded until a person with the right to possession of the vehicle complies with the conditions for release or the Municipal Judge orders that the vehicle be released. The law enforcement officer shall give notice that the vehicle has been impounded to the same parties, in the same manner, and within the same time limits as provided in ORS 819.180, as it has been incorporated into the City Code.
