I'm not comparing the BC government to the Nazis. I'm comparing your declared apathy to an erosion of civil rights to that of German citizens during the Third Reich.

BTW, when you say "The potential return on investment", why do you make the assumption this means they will only go after the wealthy? When I think of return on investment I think of expenses vs income. Expenses being the time & money to go to court and the income being the return from assets. You are only talking about the income side of things, not the expenses. If the police have concrete evidence of someone doing something wrong, then they will go after them, even if the car is only worth $20K.

Riddle me this: If either of those individuals had the car registered 100% in someone elses name, would the govt be able to seize the asset?
If your answer is NO, you just admitted that the govt is unable to apply penalties evenly and shouldn't be in the business of seizing private assets from citizens.
