Rantoul board to talk about stricter towing rules

RANTOUL – Rantoul police have proposed toughening ordinances that allow officers to seize vehicles used by people accused of crimes, but some residents say towing them because their stereos make too much noise is going too far.

Under the current ordinance, enacted in June 2005, police may seize vehicles when a person is arrested for driving under the influence or for not having a driver's license or when the driver has 30 or more grams of marijuana.
