As usual, it is the innocents that suffer as a result.

So much for conservatism. Anyway the only way to get things changed is to get the laws changed in each State. They are probably making too much money seizing peoples property to want to change the law. We have to elect people who will uphold the Constitution!

You are in a position where you know much more about the laws than most every other motorcyclist and it seems by the way you wrote this article that this law is pretty much unconstitutional. Should I try to contact my congressman inquiring about this or …? What can we do as a community to make sure this gets taken off the books? There is waaaay too much room for abuse of power as well as it being just plain wrong.
Thanks,
Tyler

The city of Palm Bay has a yard sale and a auction once or twice a year and it brings hundreds of thousands dollars into the city coffers. It is not right but it is being done in several states, not just Florida. You ask people who read your site to vote for people who will uphold the Constitution. I watch the number of voters who vote in all elections. I am saddened to tell you that each time fewer people vote. I believe people in Florida do not trust the system and have given up on voting.
