Via The Agitator comes news of this gem of a city ordinance in Illinois:

This month the city of Rockford, Illinois will begin allowing residents to call the police and have any vehicle seized on the mere accusation that the car used a loud stereo system. Under an ordinance adopted August 20, police can impound any vehicle if police believe it is likely that it played loud music. Cars taken will be held until fines of $150 to $750 are paid -- in addition to a $75 towing fee, a $15 to $20 per day storage fee and a $60 per hour charge if the police officer has to wait more than an hour for the tow truck.
...
If a motorist believes his car has been unlawfully towed on a Friday after 5pm, he may challenge the taking by "depositing a written request for a hearing in the silver drop box located behind city hall," according to the ordinance. The city must then respond by the following Wednesday. If the registered owner was not driving at the time the car was taken, he will be mailed a letter within ten days. After this time he is given less than fifteen days to request a hearing. The city may then wait another 45 days to schedule a hearing while storage fees accumulate up to $1100.

A hearing officer designated by Rockford will decide under a preponderance of evidence standard whether it is likely the motorist is guilty, in which case the hearing officer's employers will collect the fine and fee revenue from the motorist. If the vehicle's owner does not receive the mailed notice or cannot pay the fees within 30 days, the city will confiscate the vehicle permanently.

No trial.  No jury.  No reasonable doubt.  On the mere accusation that you were playing loud music from your car, your car can be seized by the police and held.  The police don't even have to be there to hear it.  Anyone can accuse, and that accusation will be used to immediately seize your property without due process of law.  What country do we live in again?  I know, it's just a car.  But that could also be their only way to get to work, or to see their kids.  It could be the only thing of real value that a person owns.  The 4th, 5th & 6th Amendments exists for a reason, and these people are pissing all over them.
