The vehicles were impounded on the night (sorry), afternoon of August 31st. They were driven out of impound on September 8th. Which ... was a Thursday. But you know, those are just facts of the case. Don't let them get in the way of your rhetoric.

I'm responding to the story linked in the OP, which quite clearly is about the city attempting to seize permanently (that's what "forfeiture" means btw) the vehicles instead of releasing them from impound after 7 days as is the norm. This thread is about people discussing whether or not they should take their cars away (permanently). I'm not sure what other events have occurred since then with the case itself. My only interest is the question as to whether or not it's right to take people's cars away (permanently) in a case like this.

And also to point out that I don't think people would be cheering the proposed forfeiture of cars if the people involved weren't wealthy. Which I happen to think is incredibly petty.

Did you (or anyone) make it obvious that the question we were debating was about anything other than permanent forfeiture of their cars? By all means show me were you leaped into the debate and insisted that these kids were getting off easy because they were going to get their cars back in a few days anyway. This is just bizarre. The whole conversation has been about them not getting their cars back (ever). Yet, it's only after nearly two whole pages of postings that someone suddenly jumps in and insists that this was never the case?


Um... Where the hell were all you guys back on page one? Where were you the first 5 times I made the point that permanent loss of a car was an unusual punishment? Strange that you waited until you'd run out of any reasonable response before suddenly pretending the entire topic never really existed in the first place.


Why do you think this topic exists?

Just because there's a particular streak of memory loss going on. Here's post number 4 in the thread:

Losing the cars permanently is going to BURN as badly as jail, ESPECIALLY if they are their parent's cars. OMG they are going to be in a world of trouble. Paying their parents back for the cars is REALLY going to hurt. Which if their parents have a lick of sense, they are going to make them do, no matter how much cash the parents have in the trust fund.



Strange that the whole "But no one said they're losing them permanently" didn't show up until like 60 posts later. Creative re-interpretation of the topic, I guess?

Apparently some people wanting harsher penalties and recommending a further investigation, but this not happening is the same as taking the cars away permanently, rather then the minimum penalty of 7 days.

You'd have a hard time finding historical cases though, seeing as these are newly established rules.

So you're taking Ari, an Aussie, as an authority on Canadian Laws? Interesting. And don't give me that **** about not knowing where Ari's from, she's been here a long long time and has always been clear about it. Unless of course, you just ignore the facts put in front of you.


You're an "there's Americans and then everyone else in the world" type person, aren't you?

So you're responding to something that didn't happen. That's great. Very varus of you.

Sure, why not. I'll play along. This thread is about a hypothetical.

Kids "less than 18" to 21 going twice the speed limit, and impeding traffic flow, driving by all definitions recklessly (Edit: Add that a few of the kids didn't even have full licenses. Essentially Permits.). Yeah, they should have the vehicles taken permanently. Has nothing to do with the rich to anyone but you, but hey. Go for it.

Is this going to be another one of your "gbaji makes a huge opinion statement and claimed it as fact, and when pressed about it is going to try to wiggle out of it" tactics? Because those are boring.

Can do!

☑ Impounded for 7 Days
☑ Six Points on License
☐ Fined minimum $398

So yeah, compared to normal people they got off comparatively easy.

Yeah... Please link a post where you decried the discrepancy between powder cocaine/crack cocaine possession punishments and we'll chat about "fair treatment based on income".

Huh? Did IQs on this board take a dive or something?

I'm saying that she understood the story linked in the OP to mean that the city was attempting to permanently seize the cars. An understanding which I believed every single poster in this thread was acting on right up until suddenly out of the blue a couple posters started claiming that this had never been the case.


It's what the story in the OP is about, right? It's why we're even having a discussion, right? Some people were cheering the possibility that these rich kids will lose their cars. Others were saying that this is an unfair penalty for the crime. What thread have you been reading?

Huh? I'm responding to what the story in the OP said. I'm respoding to multiple posters who seemed to think it was a great idea for those kids to lose their cars (permanently) because they were just bratty rich kids and it served them right.

If the city changed it's mind and let them have their cars back (did it? I haven't seen anything about it), then that's great. But it doesn't change the debate over whether it should have, right?

The one where you're crying about rich kids not being treated fairly, when they are, by the law.

The story in the OP is about thirteen underaged-to-just of age drivers, driving recklessly, were fined $198, had their cars impounded for a week, had six points put on their licenses, and the officials wanting to do more because what they were doing was hella dangerous. If you want to interpret that as "because they're rich," you're welcome to, but that isn't really indicated in the original story. But really, the OP is showing, if anything, the rich being treated better than us normal folks.

So now it went from "every single person" to "multiple posters."

It is easy to confuse a bunch of reckless kids getting the minimum sentence with the authorities being mean to rich people.

I'm under the impression suddenly that gbaji was on the page where cars were impounded permanently, and the majority of us were not.

Now it makes sense.
