Yeah, but restricting or revoking his driving privileges isn't the same as confiscating his property.

Troit's post put this in perspective for me. If 92 over is a felony, put his ass in jail. Assessing what comes out as a $45000 fine is excessive. It is exacerbated by them keeping his property rather than auctioning it off.
