Let's say a guy is out cruising for hookers. He's pestering the local women, bothering school children, and generally being a nuisance. He happens to be on foot though. Should the cops confiscate his shoes? It's pretty much the same idea. Whaddya think?

But the vehicle has a lot to do with this type of offence. It gets the person to the local area. it allows the person to cruise until they find someone. It is the location of the offence (soliciting). It is the location of the sexual act.
When someone gets caught importing illegal goods, the vehicle is not really in question (unless it is illegal aswell). But the vehicle was used to carry out the offence.
If someone walks across the border with illegal goods...then the vehicle is not used and no seizure would take place. Just like with this law. You walk down town and solicit sex...well no vehcile was involved...but if you drive down and do the same thing...it applies.
