Is it because aircraft tend to be owned by wealthy influential people? |

Seems to be a status symbol among a certain demographic . One article explained the reason for the mingling of forces but I was just skimming and didn't focus on that aspect . It's apparently very profitable , these things are dirt cheap in some places and get up to 7 figures here ... -- Snag |

The 4th Amendment (Bill of Rights) does not address a "sealed" warrant - a warrant served on a person must be allowed to be read by the person it is served upon.

It's almost surely because those aircraft were not subject to the EPA emission rules for cars, were not brought here illegally, etc. Not saying that it makes sense for a bunch of storm troopers to show up and take the auto, without even an explanation of exactly why. The owner claims the warrant was sealed and it was related to an owner 4 transactions removed. You would think the US govt would have far bigger priorities to be focusing on than 1985 vintage cars. |

When the facts come out you will likely find it was more over customs and importation issues than EPA issues. The border authorities (and DHS) have almost unlimitted powers of seizure where importation is fraudulent. Altered VIN numbers are a SERIOUS criminal offense. Importing a vehicle on the basis of a fraudulent claim is a criminal offense, and anything fraudulently imported is subject to summary seizure. They are quite likely seizing the units on a "sealed warrant" as evidence against the importer who fraudulently imported the vehicles, and the current owners' only recource would be a civil suit against the importer/seller. |

I don't think property has the same rights as an individual. They didn't enter the house, the car was outside, visible. As regards taking property, the govt has, IMO, been abusing that power for a long time, via civil forfeiture, where the govt can basically seize your property and then it's up to you to go to court and try to get it back. |

And of course, no chance that it's going to quickly get back to whoever actually imported the cars anyway when this owner starts asking previous owners WTF is going on, it's all over the media, etc. And I guess it depends on what you mean by serious offense. I don't see an illegally imported vehicle being more serious than an illegal alien who commits a crime, goes to prison, and then is released instead of being deported. The govt is letting them go, so maybe they should lay off the cars too? And regardless of how serious it is, why in the hell would they sends out a whole platoon to take a car from the fourth owner? They almost certainly aren't involved in the criminal act, and the act itself isn't a violent crime. What a waste of time and money. |

We don't know the facts because the govt won't tell us the facts. If you watch the video, the woman says she asked why they were taking the car and the agents told her the case was sealed, they were not sure, but they think it was over the clean air act. So, AFAIK, beyond that eye witness statement, there isn't much else on the record. If you have some credible info, I'm sure we'd all like to see it. And even if it is over the cars being illegally imported, do you think that justifies going to an owner's house who bought the car off of Ebay and is four owners removed from the illegal importer, with 6 vehicles full of agents in bullet proof jackets? Is that your America? |

Land Rovers are easier to catch, they don't instinctively run from a badge. |

Plus, Land Rovers do not provide dirt cheap labor for corporations that are unable/unwilling to offshore their operations. nb |
