It also doesn't help to have any thing in your bank account(s) when walking into the IRS(MT beforehand) as they can freeze and/or attach your assets under an assumed name! This all essentially violates the bill of attainder portion of the constitution. ( No cap. 'C' for that piece o' Schiessen!) When having a car taken, kick out the windshield with your feet while exiting, remove gas cap and toss keys to sewer if possible: they can't get mad as its not officially in their possession at that point and they can't sell it until repairs are made-especially with todays' coded keys. A bag (packets) of sugar for gas pipe doesn't hurt either. Their convenience is not your problem. Been there, done this! Do not however, throw a flare in the trunk as that is felony arson and a serious offense. Most are not aware that the request to search can be denied without probable cause( they rely on fear and ignorance) and a second agency or a watch commander may be summoned-too many witnesses. A Bay area city towing regime used to play these games right up to the corrupt hearing officers. I let em' keep the Tercel (200+Kmiles) after recovering my possessions. (They don't like that) and the practice was eventually halted and the tow contractor removed. I've paid illicit fines at scale houses, Chicago, Louisiana, Texas, Tennessee, Ohio, Montana and New Mexico port of entry, where my 18 wheeler doubles rig fell victim to a stretchy tape measure. The judge barely spoke English,("Ole") I paid my $50.00 (yup, back in the day) and drove my rig one trailer at a time 20 miles each way to Albuquerque. My 6" length problem was miraculously cured when I returned to CA! My fifth wheel and my connector gear were not adjustable (and CA is brutal too.) Upside: you learn the facts of life-"that which is not feeding is being fed upon!". Never had problems in the graft capital of AmeriKa though, THE BIG APPLE (NYC), I'm a Brooklyn boy and they love fresh strawberries-do not impede!
