Re: Civil forfeiture muddies message (Our View, May 4)
On the contrary, I believe it sends a very clear message. Time after time, we hear of repeat offenders driving without a licence. They cannot all have stolen the vehicle. Someone has granted them access to a vehicle. That someone is just as responsible and most certainly deserves forfeiture of said vehicle, a substantial fine and cancellation of their own licence. I believe it is known as aiding and abetting.
The goal is not to educate those who have proven themselves incapable of learning and who are completely uncaring about the well-being of their fellow citizens.
The goal is to get them off and keep them off our roads.
