ABC LawsQuestion 11 of 100
Under Bus. & Prof. Code §25658.4, when a licensee confiscates what they reasonably believe to be a false or altered driver license, the document must be:
a.Destroyed immediately on the premises
b.Surrendered to a local law enforcement agency within 24 hours
c.Held by the licensee until the customer returns to claim it
d.Mailed to the issuing state's DMV within 30 days
Explanation
Bus. & Prof. Code §25658.4 expressly authorizes a licensee or employee to seize a driver license or ID reasonably believed to be fictitious, altered, or belonging to another, and requires the seized document be delivered to a local law enforcement agency within 24 hours of confiscation along with a written report. The licensee is shielded from civil liability for a good-faith seizure. Destroying (a), holding (c), or mailing to DMV (d) does not satisfy the statute.
