Vehicles may be impounded under certain mitigating circumstances such as DUI, suspended licence, or speeds more than 20 mph over the limit. Active use of a device such as hand held talking or texting that cause a driver to behave in an impaired manner would be a legitimate justification to impound personal property.
Minor traffic infractions, and passive device usage such as GPS or music don't fall under the same category of being a clear and present danger.
