Jackson v. The City of Chicago

Plaintiff challenged constitutionality of city ordinances allowing impoundment of her vehicle when police found two persons smoking cannabis in vehicle. Section 7-24-225 of Chicago Municipal Code does not violate a vehicle owner's substantive due process rights, and is not an unreasonable seizure. Section 2-14-132(3) of Chicago Municipal Code does not violate a vehicle owner's procedure due process rights, does not violate separation of powers, and is not an impermissible taking. Sections 2-14-132(7) and 2-14-080 of Chicago Municipal Code do not violate vehicle owner's due process right to confront witnesses. (LAMPKIN and PALMER, concurring.)
