But can states decide to “put people on the list”, without individual due process in a court, based on state law criteria which could include just a doctor’s recommendation that someone be put on the list?
These street racers are routinely making the public streets unsafe for anyone else, and frequently kill people, in addition to causing crashes that destroy the cars of responsible people who were trying to use the roads their taxes paid for. And I’m supposed to feel bad that these kids’ cars are getting confiscated and crushed?
The street racers whose cars are being confiscated have either been through a court proceeding or waived their right to one as part of a plea bargain or similar court-endorsed deal. No law enforcement authority is just running around confiscating and destroying cars without the owners having any legal recourse. But owners with a string of serious moving violations and other offenses rarely want to go to court to fight something like this, because they know they’ll lose.
