I'm not complaining about police seizures. I'm well aware of the fact that police can seize property, especially property that was acquired illegally or used for an illegal purpose. Nor am I complaining that the guy can't drive and is being punished.
I'm complaining that the cops are rubbing it in his face and have basically treated themselves to a Dodge Viper that they have no reason to have. I expect the police to seize such property and dispose of it properly in service of the public. I do not expect them to parade around in seized property, rev engines and generally enjoy taking things from people. The guy is a douchebag and a reckless idiot and has no right to be driving. But I cannot at all condone the police force for rubbing his nose in it simply because he has a nice car instead of a crappy car. They should put it in the lot like every other car their seize, not take it for joyrides for their fancypants Doughnut Abuse Resistence Education program.
