Northern Virginia Criminal Justice Training Academy (NVCJTA) Exam 3 Practice

The limitation on impound decisions is identified by which Virginia code section?

19.2-80.1 19.2-80.0 19.3-70.2 18.2-80.1

Correct Answer:

19.2-80.1

Explanation:

The limits on when and how an impoundment can be ordered are set in Virginia Code section 19.2-80.1. This provision directly governs impoundment decisions, outlining the conditions under which an impoundment may be used and the procedural safeguards that must accompany it. It ensures that an impoundment isn’t an arbitrary action by an officer, and it typically covers aspects like the duration of the impoundment and the process for release or contesting the decision. In this way, it provides the statutory framework that limits and governs impoundment actions. The other code sections cover different topics and do not address the specific constraints tied to impoundment decisions.
