I like your idea, but I don't know if it is feasible. There are lots of good reasons why cops should be allowed to search an impounded vehicle. Most notably safety, since who knows what you carry in your car.

Again I support the concept, I am just unsure if there are wrinkles in the implementation or not.

There's no reason why cops need to search a car "for safety". Someone who is not a LEO could easily do it, if as a society we think its worth the cost, and at the same time, those people can be banned from speaking to LEO's about whatever it is they find in the car (including drugs).
