The difference with their nanny state, though, is that it is sensible. Hell, Britain's passed a regulation meaning children had to wear goggles whilst playing with conkers.
It is not normal to wear bicycle helmets, but kids ride with the seats at the minimum height possible, with their knees in their ears because it is safer to fall from a short distance...

Hm, I can't think of any of the other hilariously contradictory laws and customs here regarding safety (besides the germ stuff) but there are many. Maybe I will post a topic at some point.



Regarding the topic at hand, I don't understand how it can not be possible to take this through an appeals court. Perhaps it's just that I am hazy on american law but the guy has been punished and at least one judge agrees that it was unjust... shouldn't he be able to continue escalating it? Or is the american legal system worse still than I have been led to believe?

It IS possible. The problem though, is that the court that made the decision is the Court of Appeals for the 8th Circuit. Basically, it's already been taken through the appeals process. The next level of appeals is the US Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court picks and chooses which appeals it hears.

The decision will likely stand, simply because the Supreme Court is unlikely to hear a forfeiture case like this one.
