March Hare an even more dangerous situation:
Quote:
Officer: Good evening.
Love: Good evening.
Officer: Anything to drink tonight?
Love: No sir I have not
Officer: Excuse me, I don't like your attitude. I'd expect a little respect for as an officer of the law
Love: I'm not being disrespectful, sir, I mean nothing by my tone.
Officer: I put up with punk kids like you all day long!
The officer stands up, pulls a card out of his fluorescent green vest and reads the following:
Officer: Mr. Love, you have broken no law. You are being charged with nothing. You have been convicted of nothing. You have harmed no one. Nonetheless, you have no opportunity to object or appeal what I am about to do.
Therefore, by the powers vested in me by the government, I am confiscating your vehicle and suspending your driving privileges for three days.
[...]
Love: Is there any way I can appeal this arbitrary roadside confiscation of my personal property by the state?
Officer: Stop being a smart ass.
Love: I am not legally impaired, in fact I drank nothing, and was not even given a breathalyzer test. I have broken no law, and neither been charged or convicted of anything, then civil liberties, the Charter of Rights, the rule of law and limits on the right of the state to seize private property are actually quite important to me.
Officer: Sucks to be you.
Love: So, do I just call a cab?
Officer: Up to you. You are free to take cabs for the next three days. Keys please.
Love: Who pays for the towing charge and the fees at the impound lot?
Officer: I’ll give you one guess.
