There are some state laws that do indeed allow for a law enforcement officer to tow away a vehicle if they find it without valid registration. Utah, Hawaii, Texas and New Jersey are just a few of these states that allow for the impounding of a vehicle with expired registration.

I do not have specific facts about how often cars are towed for this offense. For your state's statistics regarding the impounding of vehicles you could contact your DMV or perhaps Highway Patrol. In some state or local laws it might not be mandatory towing but instead up to the discretion of the officer. If that is the case it might be determined by if the officer has the time to oversee the impoundment of the vehicle or is called to an incident elsewhere if a car is towed for the violation.
