Even if he admits he removed it so what? It’s the police’s job to prosecute crime, not our obligation as their employers to prove our innocence. The burden of proof is theirs.

OK Skippy. Remove the VIN labels on all your cars and tell us how that works out.

Keep a diary while awaiting your court date.

IT”S NOT THE VIN. FOR THE HUNDREDTH FREAKING TIME, IT’S NOT THE VIN!! It’s a serial number on a component of the car. And no, while I don’t know what the law is on the matter, I don’t even think it’s our responsibility to run around with ID numbers on our cars. I wasn’t making an argument of what would work in today’s legal system, but what it should be from a principled standpoint. Didn’t a teacher ever ask you in grade school “If everybody else was jumping off a cliff, would you do it?”

Huh? Why would anyone want to have their cars confiscated by the gestapo? The point is that just because thats what the gestapo does, doesn’t mean that thats what the gestapo should be doing.
