Here we go again; another government agency is running amok. The Environmental Protection Agency, (EPA), showed up at a North Carolina home in a string of SUV's; agents stormed the house and seized a 1985 Land Rover Defender owned by Jennifer Brinkley on the basis that it was violating EPA Air Quality standards. Brinkley said they did not have documentation showing why it was in violation, that they were not sure themselves about what they were doing or why, and that they seized her vehicle and hauled it off anyway.
Brinkley says she recently purchased the vehicle and invested some $60,000 into it in the way of repairs and refurbishing and that it passed state emission requirements. The EPA has refused to tell her where the vehicle is and has thus far given her no right to appeal. “I’m sad because I owned the car. It’s just an iconic car. I’m in disbelief … and surprised that somebody can come in and take your property. It’s scary, it’s scary when it happens to you.”
