Could be the next law will be if you get a traffic ticket... you won't get
your property back unless you can prove you are innocent  more money for
the lawyers, more money for the cops, more money for the judges?

Will the people of New York stand for this?  You bet they will... should they?
NO!  They should petition and recall the politicians who passed this law...
provided they haven't already passed a law prohibiting recall.

   NEW YORK (AP) -- Anyone arrested for driving drunk in New York City will
   have their cars seized and not given back unless they are acquitted of
   the charges, the police commissioner said Thursday.
 
   "There's nothing more serious to the innocent public than people who
   drive drunk," Commissioner Howard Safir said.
 
   The NYPD plans to implement its so-called "Zero Tolerance Drinking and
   Driving Initiative" within the next month, Safir said. He said New York
   is the first major city to implement such an initiative.
 
   Under the forfeiture provision in the city's administrative code, police
   can seize "instrumentalities of crime," Safir said. But the provision
   does not specifically say that police can seize cars from drunk drivers.
   "This is a creative use of a law designed to deal with instrumentalities
   of crime," Safir said.

What a great idea! Why didn't they think of it sooner? I hope it's
successful
and spreads around the country.

gotten in a car and perform to Standard G ... and OTHER people
who have NOT ingested alcohol perform at the EXACT SAME

 You're missing the point.  It's not that such acts are irresponsible.  It's
 that YOUR tax dollars are going to a bunch of gluttons that are looking for
 every way possible to take what you have, using funds provided by YOU.

I understand the point. What I'm saying is that in this case I DON'T
