This case isn't about profiling, the fine, car safety or illegal immigration. Its that no option to avoid seizure of property exists, violating the 4th amendment. Heavey had a chance to give them a break and use discretion, but instead he followed the letter of the law and exposed that it has no 4th amendment right exclusion, unlike the IL. vehicle code. So most likely the tax payers get another bill for Waukegan's myopic municipal code. :xVery well put.
