L.A. wanted to dismantle homeless RVs. A judge just shut that down

The state's vehicle code currently requires that cities and counties sell impounded vehicles that are worth more than $500 at auction. AB 630, which Gov. Gavin Newsom signed into law in October, increased the financial threshold for L.A. and Alameda counties, allowing them to dismantle vehicles worth up to $4,000. That, in turn, spares those jurisdictions from going through the more cumbersome process of auctioning off the vehicles, backers of the bill said.
