The state's highest court ruled — in a case titled State of South Dakota v. Fifteen Impounded Cats — that a police officer acted correctly in August when he seized the aforementioned 15 felines from a vehicle belonging to Patricia Edwards.
Yep, gub'mint making sure you don't have too many cats.
Ms Edwards acknowledged that she had been living out of her car, and was on the way to Montana, and yes, she had 15 cats in her car when the constabulary interdicted her.
She had a bag of cat food, several bottles of water, and a full litter box. If you've ever had a cat, you know what shit and piss factories they are, so given 15 cats, it's not hard to imagine a full litter box.
But did she do anything wrong (besides almost backing into the cop)? Did she break the law on feline transport? How about the law on having a too-full litter box?
Nope .... she ran afoul of government busy-bodies who thought she should live her life differently.
