The REGISTRATION acts as SUBJECT MATTER JURISDICTION.
If the agents have no personal jurisdiction on a DRIVER then the VEHICLE REGISTRATION grants them jurisdiction on the car. The registered owner gets the charge for towing and storage not the driver/traveler.
The STATE is simply following International protocol to manage public safety, after all that is why they exist.
