West Coast Laws, Daddy took the 6G away... Options

[Lexicon_Devil]

I don't mean any disrespect to you west coast 6GC'ers out there,
but the more I read about your George Orwellian regulations on
that side of the country, the more I'm I sit here in disbelief.

I mean, California brought us the-ever-memorable Surfin' USA,
The acid soaked Hippie Movement - Tune in - Turn On - Drop Out,
and every other laid-back, pot laced theme you could think of.
Yet, you can't do anything with your car or they'll take it away?

I was just reading this story online (with photos) of dudes who had
their cars taken away and crushed by "the man". Needless to say,
they were Toyotas and Hondas. Dudes who were doing, say, 20
over the speed limit and were deemed "street racers"...

Dude, if that was happening near Detroit, you'd just hear assault
rifles and see the National Guard coming in. It'd make the '67
riots look like a practice round. Every Hillbilly in the land would
be taking to the streets like road warrior. With giant stickers that
said "MODDED" plastered on their cars.

As much as I'm a history buff, I'm clueless as to how this took
root..and who allowed it to happen. It's so over-the-top, I can't
even wrap my head around it.

Somebody fill me in.

sorry if its already said, but in the one of the cops said, if you showed paper work and proved none of the parts were stolen, you could get your car back with some fines?


and the only reason they crushed it was because they had parts that were stolen?

only? im sorry but if my car parts were found in any other person's car without my knowledge, id not only want to crush their car into itty bitty pieces but i would prolly tie the bastard to the inside of the car while its happening. There's no excuse of having someone else's engine with either no paperwork or receipts whatsoever or with the id number scratched beyond recognition. That just screams shady.

i know but lets say someone bought an engine, from some guy on craigslist and it turns out that it was stolen but you didnt know until your car gets crushed..i mean isnt that a little unfair?
