every state has different laws. many states treat it as a felony, allowing your property to be seized and destroyed...

I am pretty sure the guy driving this car did something extremely stupid and hurt someone, or just pissed off someone with authority... The police/judges/prosecutors have the discretion to use the full extend of a penalty on you or not.

Plus, in the eyes of some, what your friend got would be a slap on the wrist. Maybe he pleaded guilty and the judge/prosecutor decided that he can keep his car after he serves out his penalty.

Some states have laws that allow the state to confiscate anything used or obtained while committing a crime. For example guns in illegal hunting, houses bought by drug money, cars in street racing.

Limits and how it's applied vary from state to state and most auction off what was confiscated and the proceeds go to a state fund.
