Had ENOUGH Yet ?
Busting land rovers, Boston strip clubs for counterfeit NFL merchandise, investigating plumbers, rodeos, leononaide stands, ranchers, neurosurgeons, scummy YouTube film makers, not so scummy film makers, the list goes on and on and on
FYI
New Land Rovers are just Fords.
Interesting that that the old POS ones would be in that much demand.
What doesn’t Homeland Security have it’s dirty little hands into these days. Is this the army that obama warned us of being more heavily armed than our military back in 2008? They are tracking down 20 year old cars and musical instruments with ivory in them. How about if they secure our homeland by helping with the border if they are bored and looking for something to do.....
Incorrect. DOT and EPA regs are rolling. They only go back 25 years. Everything 25 years and older is exempt from DOT and EPA regs and legal to import. 1989 and older for now. 1990 next year, and so on.
But, if the Land Rover is actually a 2000 year model that was illegally re-VIN'd to appear to be an older vehicle, then you've got a different story.
Funny. They seize cars, but not illegal aliens.
Somebody tell these guys we have 60,000 “Landrovers” on our southern border.
They should have run those LRs down into Arkansas, went to the DMV and got a clean new Arkansas title, no matter how many excess titles were floating around for the same vehicles in other states.
$50.00! New, clean ARKANSAS title! No questions asked!
First off I know I will sleep much better knowing these criminal illegally immigrant cars are off the road.
Second. It is good that there is nothing else happening with illegal importation, say like Illegal immigrants pouring across the border, that there are enough federal officers to find 40 vehicles all around the nation.

The states themselves usually make owners test their car for emissions. This whole thing stinks of some kind of shake down.Why have Congress pay for stuff when you can seize money without them?
Ran across this story from a year ago (I’m a big RR fan):

They are not illegally imported: They are “Undocumented Vehicles”.
A problem caused by too much government.
Free Country? That ship has sailed....
