What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA
Sometime back i read about a woman in California who got her car tow for having the tags out of date more the 6 months. I can assure that CVC 22651 (o)(1)(a) which allegedly gives the police the power to tow a “motor vehicle” “When a registration expiration date in excess of six months before the date it is found or operated on the highway, public lands, or the offstreet parking facility”
is this a Bill of Attainder. Why?
1. Is a warrant less seizure.
2. Allows police to in affect write there own warrants
3. Property sized is not taken as evidence, but rather as punishment adjudged by the legislature.
4. Assumes guilt and infects punishment.
5. Does not allow for judicial oversight at any time before or after seizure.
6. You literally tried and punished by the legislature.
7. Does not provide for just compensation.
By the way here in California vehicle registration is a “protection service”, that is the money collected primarily pays for enforcement, and not the highways. The DMV removed the chart I was using (always should save info). But if I remember correctly something like 85% the fees collected on registration goes to the Highway Patrol, 10% to the DMV for administration Fees, the cities and counties get a cut of the pie and something like 2% is left over for the highways. Cute a?
As I already explained “This requirement of registration of vehicles is designed for the protection of owners...” See; (Stoddart v. Peirce, 53 Cal.2d 105, 119 [346 P.2d 774People v. Galceran (1960), 178 Cal.App.2d 312, 316 (emphasis added)
the DMV is more than willing to brag about registration being a “protection service” Just search for “protects ownership interests through registration” on the California DMV website and see for your self.
Bearing in mind the old maxim of law “One should never pay for a service one does not want”
Any comments on this information in CA
