That's the key to this whole situation. If I was caught speeding, and they took my car away, I would have a lawyer on that asap. To me, this is a case where the cars were acquired through illicit means, OR, the owners wanted to "save face". In other words, don't fight the power, and you'll get *some* money back. Plus, we won't tell the public who you are.

I don't think there will be a rash of seizures coming from this in the future. It was a good story, and the law looked like heroes in the process.
