Hamilton Police are looking for a minivan, that they feel has committed a crime. I thought they might want the driver, but the Hamilton Spectator is very specific here.
Um, I think they’re hoping that identification of the vehicle will lead to identification of the driver.
Your point about de-personalization of damage caused by driver behaviour is underappreciated in general, but with respect to this specific request by the police I think you’re missing the mark.
I don't know...
I mean, the police want to identify the driver...I don't think anyone is going to identify a personal vehicle (i.e., not a business vehicle) independent of the driver.
I certainly don't think it's unreasonable to say driver, but you could perhaps argue that it is less egregious than usual.
