Where do you draw the line? Should DUI's have their cars confiscated and crushed? What about speeders? What about people who don't use their turn signals? What aobut people who talk on their cell phones while driving?

Are their carparts from stolen vehicles too? Do you also object to cars used in drug deals being confiscated?

Does that mean that they should lose their constitutional protections and fundamental rights?

Driving is a state licensed privilege.

Are their carparts from stolen vehicles too?

If this is so then the stolen parts should be removed AND RETURNED TO THE OWNERS or to the insurance company for resale if a settlement was paid. If it can be shown that the ricers knowing received stolen parts, then this is covered by "receiving stolen property" and is a crime all on its own for which they shoudl be convicted and punished under that statute.

Do you also object to cars used in drug deals being confiscated?

Absolutely. Most of the so-called drug deal confiscations are done in advance of any conviction and frequently done without anyone ever being convicted of anything. Same with cash confiscations. Most confiscations are just another way that the government has to grab money.
