• The cars were not the proceeds of a crime (the original intent of the CFA)
• The cars were not implements of a crime for which a conviction was obtained
• You can "street race" a Yugo or you can "street race" an R8. If the penalty in each case is seizure, it results in a virtually unlimited penalties. I'd love to see the SCC rule in favor of unlimited, arbitrary penalties for crimes for which a conviction hasn't or cannot be obtained.
