We don't have Park and Rides where I live, so I don't know; are they private property or public? I only ask because if you park your car on someone's property without permission, then it gets a little more complicated because people should be entitled to chose who parks their car on their property.
That being said, cops rob people all the time and nobody complains about it. Money, cars, houses, and more are routinely seized in civil asset forfeitures, and people rarely say anything about it. Cops help steal people's children and people let it go. Cops pull people over on the highway and demand money for "going too fast" and THAT is literally highway robbery, yet nobody complains. Cops shoot unarmed people, including children, dead, and aren't convicted of any crimes. (On this one, there is sometimes some public outrage, though)
The fact is, most people think that is the way things should be, and they point guns at the rest of us and make us take it or be killed. It's not so much the guns as it is the gang. I have guns, but I don't have an endless supply of gangsters on call 24/7 ready to come help me roll someone at a moment's notice.
I'm with you, though. Impound it theft! Down with impound.
And taxes... They are theft too.
Thanks, @garthfreeman, for your comprehensive comments and observations.
This truly is the core of the problem. I suspect you may have read Larken Rose's "The Most Dangerous Superstition."? If not, please do. He points out that all who believe in the power of government are the ones to blame for its continued evil existence.
Yes, civil forfeiture (what an oxymoron) is a real plague on the land. And we definitely must resist it for all we're worth.
Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
P.S. I'm pretty sure the "Park and Ride" is "public" property.
