"Jeez, now we are going to see the Conservative blind-spot again."

There are alot of people on FR who think they are conservative but they are really just big-gov't types like the libs. They scream about Hillary's abuses of power but they LOVE gov't regulations and laws when it suits their purposes. And the stiffer the penalties, the better, as far as they are concerned.

Poor generalization. Granted, the severity of the penalty is certainly debatable; this concept of confiscating vehicles is asinine.. But there is nothing anti-conservative about reining in public nuisances.

Conservatism does not advocate anarchy. Nor does it, or the Constitution, advocate unlimited freedom to do anything you please to disrupt public places.

Limited government is not at all at odds with minimum standards for public behavior.
