Maybe I'm naive, but one of the main goals of the justice system should be to treat everyone equally. While the justice system is somewhat biased against the lower classes (but not as much as they want you to believe), this law would be unfair to the middle and upper classes. After all, losing a new $50,000 Chevy Corvette would be a much stiffer punishment than losing a 15 year old Toyota Corolla that costs $2,000, and both things could happen theoretically with this proposal. Instead of just switching victims, justice system bias should be eradicated completely.

And allowing cars to be taken away before a trial is ridiculous too, a gross violation of the "due process" requirement.
