Good? The main thread earlier today reported that spectators had their cars impounded also. People who were not doing doughnuts and what not.
Reminds me of FBI goon arresting spectators at the Capitol on J6 who also were not committing any crimes.
There’s a fine line between upholding the law and abusing it.
As I noted on the other thread: Even though these are truly bad actors there are nevertheless serious Fourth and Fifth Amendment issues here.
Or does lawlessness abrogate the Rule of Law?
Personally, I’m ok with it, as it’s likely they’ve already tried every other approach and have just been laughed at by this bunch - given how broken down California’s ‘justice’ system is (other than for conservatives).
I suspect that the police will not be allowed to hang on to the cars very long or even want to - more likely they’re trying to get the ATTENTION of these bastards. And also, cars aren’t people (as in Jan 6th).
Their insurance rates should go through the roof.
No it’s not good. Charge them with crimes, possibly including reckless endangerment, noise violations etc. Then put them on trial. Then let the court issue a verdict.
A sheriff imposing his own fines and penalties and taking property without due process is an abuse of the system of justice.
A similar event happened near me. The issue is the victims were people who were stuck amidst the thugs and couldn’t get out. Would their cars have been impounded too?
No audience, no show.
