I find this a very odd and non compelling argument

Just now many people have a) private land and b) private land in sufficient quantity and state that you can actually drive a car on it?

It’s pretty common to have unlicensed off road vehicles, especially in the mountain west. Farmers and ranchers often have at least one of these. There’s plenty of recreational users as well.

Compare the numbers of farmers and ranchers to the rest of the population.

How many recreational users have private land in sufficient quantities?

It seems like a moot point --

If you are driving off-road, or completely on private property, you're not really driving the vehicle to "go somewhere" or commute or transport people/goods.

It isn't really feasible to use a vehicle for actual transportation without using public roads, at least in these United States.

So what possible cause or reason would any law enforcement have, for going into a vehicle like that and searching it? I mean, compared to someone driving on a public road and "going somewhere" while "carrying stuff" in there? Nearly none, right?

Farmers who own their farm is the traditional group that would qualify. That population is much smaller than it used to be to my understanding though.

I do! I call it my “driveway.”

basically every farmer.

So is the argument that only farmers should be able to have a vehicle?
