I know if you're involved in a crime you should be punished. but a DUI, while a serious offense, is something to revoke a license not seize an automobile.
especially one that cost around 40k.
Police are greedy (I know a bunch) I've gone to a police auction once and they were down to fisticuffs over buying certain cars and property. I understand they don't make much money but they work for the government (aka us) and they made the decision to live this lifestyle.
They might be able to justify it as the driver broke the law and now needs to pay, but it's really just legal stealing. I love when cops get the DUI, that makes my day...yet somehow they don't get their car taken away

She totaled my Ford Escort. While not much, she took my wheels right out from under me and all I got was a measly $2,500 and a bus pass for the next 5 months. while I found something as trustworthy as my 145,000 mile turbo 5 speed Ford.
In other words.. the booze hound made me ride the SMART bus in Detroit for 6 months. Take the drunks car, it makes me sleep better at night.

People always talk crap about the cars that the police steal, and other corrupt stuff we do, but when it comes to when they have to rely on them, my, how quickly they shut up.
Thank God I don't do my job for people like you. You, sir, disgust me."

Matthew, my good fellow, your time away from the Windy City has affected your memory. May I remind you of this chap?

I have not heard that word in a while.
All the cool kids are using "preparing," or "getting ready," or "setting up."
I guess if he was down South he would have said that they are fixin' to replace florida.

Someone would have to buy one first. Have you seen a Nitro on the road? I sure haven't.

It saddens me deeply, I tell you. What level of brain damage would make purchasing a truck with poor visibility, poor acceleration, poor economy, poor cargo room, and even poor off-roading ability... a good idea?
