"The Sarasota County, Florida Board of Commissioners unanimously voted on
Tuesday to move forward on a proposed ordinance authorizing the seizure of
the home belonging to anyone accused of not paying a red light camera
ticket. The commissioners must now hold another public hearing and vote on
the issue before beginning the process of installing the cameras. "Failure
to pay any amounts provided for under this article may result in the filing
of a lien against the property of the registered owner," the proposed red
light camera ordinance states. "Such lien shall be subject to foreclosure as
provided by law."


I believe they have already done this in Florida by kicking some 62 year old
out of his house for unpaid tickets.

This is not news.

Someone claims you owe them a debt. Unless you can prove that the claim is
not legitimate, a court can order liens and seizures. It makes little
difference what the original debt was for.

It may happen quicker if a Government agency is the claimant.

Hell even if the City has to shovel the snow off your sidewalk they
can add the cost to your property taxes if you fail to pay the bill.
If you fail to pay the taxes they can seize the property.

If private HOAs can take your house over an unpaid Association fee, why
shouldn't the Government over tickets?

They can't do that in Alberta. They can place a lien on the property
which would have to be satisfied if the owner attempts to sell or
refinance the house.
