How about we consider a solution that doesn’t involve the seizure and destruction of someone’s personal property no matter the reason.

I am just spitballing here but maybe something like— ”We can’t allow you to drive that vehicle on the public roads, but instead of taking it from you and crushing it, feel free to just not drive it on the public roads or sell it to someone who lives in a place where they are allowed to be driven.”

Yeah, that seems like a better solution.

It seems to have escaped your attention that they did the exact opposite and "felt free" to drive and illegal vehicle on public roads with no insurance, so anyone they hit wouldn't have any compensation. And you can't buy them here so they brought it in knowing they couldn't legally drive it on the roads.

Not the sharpest, are you?

  • Are you really arguing for the idea that governments should seize and destroy private property?

    I may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but at least I respect other people’s things. I’d rather be dull than a thief…but to each their own.

    • Are you really arguing that the libertarian way is to consider laws optional?

      There is no way he can legally use the vehicle on any UK roads, giving him it back, when he has already flagrantly violated the laws, is encouraging him to violate them some more.
