Beware SA motorists driving without number plates

Try get indemnification from them. Not easy and will drag on for years whilst you without a vehicle.

Regular law covers this area, indemnity is neither required nor sought. Whether legal procedure is quick or slow, the court would rule against the police with costs. The SAPS already pays out tens of millions annually for false arrests, wrongful deaths, police brutality etc. No more difficult to win a case against the SAPS than Joe Soap. The police have no jurisdiction over the courts.
 
You are suggesting the state is not liable for the vehicle while impounded?
No I'm not.

I didn't say its not going to happen I said it's going to take ages for it to be settled or finalized and thus you will be without a vehicle in most cases as most insurers also exclude confiscation or impounding by authorities.
