Uhhhh... no. This scenario is different than the one I stated - see "trade
wins"?
However, there's nothing wrong with inspecting a car that you _really_ suspect
is illegal, and if you do find something signifigant, then the weasel deserves
what he gets.
This is different from "Man, he beat me again. Well, no more. I'm gonna go over
there, inspect his car with a microscope, and if I find one little hair out of
place, I'm gonna nail his hindquarters to the wall. Hey, look, a rubber drain
plug fell out of a hole in his trunk. Illegal lightening! Protest!"

Not person (that'd be impossible) but car. See the Skoda/Yugo example in a
previous response.

Just so that there's no mistake, I'm NOT. Everybody should always be in a legal
car, period. The trick here is making some of the things that people really
want, but are currently illegal, legal.
