> Ignoring any cost implications [...] the delay
This argument has no value in itself or it would apply equally to everyone. The only thing that gives it power is "because the Government said so" since the power is entirely on the Government's side. Any implication (cost, time, privacy) introduced by the authorities to the passenger is never considered.
- dspillett 7y agoAny delay will certainly be considered by the passenger. By _this_ passenger at any rate!
- close04 7y agoI think it was clear that the consideration for losses you incur should come from the authority. Otherwise yours is quite useless given the above mentioned power balance. It's purely philosophical without any support from the same authorities who sell your seized property for cash because they only consider their side.
