B.S. Some people are more equal than others. Government workers apparently don't face fines and jail time if they refuse to pay.

This is a strange penalty for not paying a parking find. Why would they seize a house for a vehicle infraction? Seize the vehicle.

No duh. Because they face harsher penalties: criminal prosecution or property seizure.

Wrong again - the federal employees aren't threatened with jail time either.

Yeah, like they did in this case...not. You are a paragon all right...of government apologists. They should all face the exact same penalties that an ordinary citizen should face - actually, they should face harsher penalties, since they are sworn to uphold the law.
