I'm sorry but isn't this just a case of car theft. Just because you don't have the factory VIN the State will take your car? What about rebuilt and multi make or custom cars? It sounds like they just don't like something they don't have total control over.

"There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.

I think the word folks are looking for is 'tyrany'.

And that's what we live under.

I see a prosecutor and a cop that either need to be fired or they need to start going after real crime, such as murder, arson, rape, theft, etc.

However, if these two cannot find enough to do so this is the kind of thing the cop and prosecutor go after, then obviously there are too many cops.

How much does this Wisconsin hero make with salary and benefits? Saving us common folk against a few unusual cars... I feel so much safer with people like this on guard... /S

I would more expect this from California than Wisconsin. But crushing the cars are a pure power trip and waste.

After offering to pay the fines and help the authorities find buyers for both machines overseas, the prosecutor declined.


Anyone have an explanation?

"Brown County Deputy District Attorney Dana Johnson"

Prosecutors are clearly an unregulated problem here in the US.

He also says he didn't know it was a crime to simply own a car without its VIN tag attached.

My computer doesn't have a VIN. Wonder how long I'll get away with that. There's no such thing as private property anymore -- just stuff we pay for and use as long as the government permits.
