@bhtooefr @TDCN @stahlbrandt @Showroom7561 @vfrmedia You had small town abuses like that where they were planting weed and seizing cars too. Small towns can get absurdly corrupt because only a few people control everything and they all know each other. This was the original purpose of the FBI before it too got corrupted by DC politics.
@bhtooefr @TDCN @stahlbrandt @Showroom7561 @vfrmedia Agreed on that, private law enforcement is not good because they have the incentive to create violators. Private prisons are also bad. So are so-called pirate tow trucks that are allowed to go out and hunt for people with expired registrations or delinquent loans and tow their cars.
@TDCN @Showroom7561 So if it is leased, do they sell the car and pay off the lease? Or do you have to pay for insurance that covers the lease holder if this happens? I guarantee you the banks that finance leases are not just eating that.
Here in the USA it is almost routine for the drunk who finally causes a fatal accident to have six DUIs, a .15 BAC, and a revoked license at the time of the mishap.
@vfrmedia @stahlbrandt @TDCN @Showroom7561 In the USA we call those sudden low limit areas “speed traps” and the purpose is revenue collection.
@elCelio @TDCN This is true when it comes to car type violations. You can easily get yourself jailed for unpaid traffic tickets or street racing. It’s just about guaranteed for DUI - there are a lot of anti-DUI pressure groups. But you will still have the car when you get out and lots of people drive without a license. That gets you jailed too, but in large parts of the USA not having a license is basically house arrest anyway.
Drug and money offenses get property seized. Especially cash.
