>What constitutional rights am I sacrificing?

See 4th amendment

>The right to drive safely on the road?

Driving is a privilege not a right.

>Such laws are positive for everybody except extraordinarily selfish people who may kill somebody by focusing exclusively on their own precious rights.

Confiscatory laws are harmful to everyone because they empower the current short-sighted stewards of the State to incrementally erode the Constitution in the name of the "greater good" thereby justifying the next set of short-sighted stewards to do the same.

>IMHO it is appropriate for authorities to create a disincentive for that sort of tyrannical behavior and to action it if people keep forgetting that others have rights too.

I already won the bet with myself about your position.

If the State can willfully violate the Constitution in the name of the "greater good" there is no line It cannot cross. That's the danger and why our rights must be protected and fought for regardless of one's personal position on a particular issue.

>If you feel so strongly about confiscation of property, how do you feel about people being put in jail?

Do you mean jail or prison?

I have certain problems with jailing procedures do to a lack of conviction, but aside from those I feel there is justification for temporary incarceration pending investigation, arraignment and trial.

Once convicted, I have no problem with imprisoning the guilty as a legislated and legally enacted punishment for the violation of another's rights.
