HONOLULU (KHON2) -- Delinquent vehicles parked on city and state roads could soon be towed, as one lawmaker wants to make it easier for police to tow vehicles that rack up numerous complaints.

Kurt Fevella said delinquent vehicles have been a problem in his district and there's currently a lot of red tape for police to be able to tow one of those cars, but his new bill would make it easier for police. Big Island police warn residents of phone scam posing as authorities When you drive down crowded streets across Oahu, the chances of seeing an expired tag are high. "Plenty guys cannot afford to register their car," Fevella said. "So, a lot of guys would rather drive the car as much as they can and if they get the ticket, they'll pay the fine, and if they pay the fine then they're going to leave their car on the side of the road but HPD has a hard time to do those enforcements, so I was asked to do this bill." As it is currently written, SB616 requires the immediate towing of any parked motor vehicle that is not properly registered, does not display a valid safety inspection sticker, or is parked in violation of any state traffic law. Driving up and down Ewa Beach there were many delinquent cars, some with tags dating back to 2020. "Right now, if you want to get the car that's blocking people's parking, road hazards, so by immediately towing them off the road it would clear any hazard on the road," Fevella said. Fevella noted that given the fact that HPD is already very busy, the police will not be patrolling with the goal of finding these vehicles. They will only tow the vehicles if they receive a complaint. "The cops go over there and there's grass growing through the car and spider webs in the tire, of course they'll tow it, but if it looks like the car is clean and well maintained they probably going to do a spot check and tell the people who made the complaint they'll come back and do a spot check on the car, that's why they mark the tires and then they can notify the registered owners 'hey we get one complaint, we going to tow your car, you gotta move them," he explained. He said many people don't want to pay the registration and when their tire is marked, the owner simply moves it up a little bit so it looks like it's moved, and then he said HPD's hands are tied on being able to tow it.
