Give him a speeding ticket...give him jail time. But seizing their car and selling it off so the gov't can pocket the money? Sounds like organized crime....
It's a shame ... it happened in Canada. If we stop respecting peoples' rights to private property than sooner or later the government will be deciding for us what cars we should be driving, what homes we will own and how much we are allowed to have in the bank account before the money is seized and divided among the poor.
Charge them with attempted murder even, and let the lawyers sort it out, but have some respect for ppl who pay you taxes.
Yeah, cry me a river too.
If these guys maybe respected other peoples lives, then it wouldn't be a concern. But does respecting private property take precedence over respecting lives?
What would the end cost have been if one of these cars had hit a pedestrian? Oh, I guess that's not as important as protecting their private property.
These guys knew the law and they choose to ignore it. Besides, the gov't only gets 20% of the sale of the Ferrari.
Police state? Bull Crap! That's just a feeble excuse at trying to justify breaking the law.
As for seizing the Harleys from the HA boys, that is sweet. Hit them where it really hurts, their bikes.
I strongly disagree on the Harleys as well. Neither police nor the state should administer justice as they see fit. There are laws that regulate the way a society functions, and there should be a legal process of bringing offenders to justice. If the police decides what cars to sell and for how many km/h over the limit should entail such "verdict" then it won't be long before we have a police state or a dictatorship on our hands.
What is also worth mentioning is that we draw these conclusion based of what those officers told the media. We don't get to hear the alleged "offenders"
Why protection of private property is vital IMO is because without it nobody will give a
, nobody will start a business, nobody will take a financial risk, there will be no such thing as entrepreneurship. Dividing common wealth based on individual
needs , it will lead to general indifference and apathy, socialism and finally a third world country.
I'd rather them keep their Ferraris than all of us live in police run state of chaos.
