Speaking of Personal Property

I want to welcome back all my classmates from their spring breaks (including myself). I'd like to announce that I no longer own that piece of shit car that was the 90 Corolla with the two cracks in the windshield. Now I have my mom's 2000 Corolla (we're a Toyota family).

However, the people at Berkeley Transportation charged me $25 to get a new permit because the old one was pretty impossible to remove without damaging. For anyone who's taken Con Law, doesn't this violate some right to property stuff? I understand the $25 is probably an administrative charge but then can't they make an effort to make the stickers more transferrable (without making them easily stealable). Am I just a brat who doens't want to fork over $25?

1. Was this not the policy when you got your permit?

2. As a certain property professor tends to emphasize, the state can define property rights however it sees fit; shall we begin the policy analysis?

3. Brat.
