Absolutely. They don't take the vehicle because it belongs to you; they take the vehicle because if you aren't licensed to operate a motor vehicle and you're pulled over, they now have a vehicle without a driver and they must take necessary action to ensure the vehicle is parked in a secure, legal location.
