impounders
Those who confiscate
Impounders are those who impound—who seize and hold property, animals, or vehicles in legal custody.
The term appears most often in contexts of animal control or traffic enforcement: The impounders towed away dozens of illegally parked cars.
It can also refer to those who confine water behind a dam or barrier.
