Totally agree, which I said in my comment.

But owning property is owning it outright. You don't own it at the whim of someone else.

I in general do not agree with government seizure of property without compensation.

I agree with losing your license, losing the privilege to drive and use public roads, etc.

    I've found that people are big fans of government action against people with little or no due process, until it happens to them.

    I don't know if you're aligned with me or not

    @GBU_28
    That really, *really* shouldn't matter. One of the biggest problems around the world today are people checking for labels and group membership before considering otherwise valid points.

    For what it's worth, I've found this behavior exhibited by all groups.

    @GBU_28 @JegVilleSeShitposts How do you feel about steep fines for drunk driving? How is this different?

    Fines are fine. I understand at the end of the day they behave similarly. But the value of the car may not be the right amount for the fine, and the citizen may be able to get the best sale price for the car.

    @GBU_28 @JegVilleSeShitposts , all property is owned at the whim of someone else !
    The person that chooses to work for you, the customer that chooses to buy your goods, the person that chooses to sell their house, etc ...
    You're just a care taker for a short while and if you're mistreating that privilege it should be able to be revoked!
