^^^WRONG^^^


Not trying to change your mind but I deal with Civil Forfeiture every day.  Matter of fact I drive a seized and forfeited vehicle now.  The laws and liability placed on Police when seizing property are very strict and can really get you and your department in a sling if not adhered to.  Are there some crooked cops and maybe department?  Sure.  But any Department worth a damn knows not to mess with the forfeiture until it is adjudicated and released.  And if it is to be returned, it is very simple...just sign for it.

So taking a car from a drug dealer and having to pay maybe a few hundred in legal hours costs more than buying a 40K crown vic or a 50K Tahoe.  Your math sucks

Seized items can not be sold to put money in the general fund, if sold, the money has to be used by the pd for unbudgeted items.  I hope they can seize every item any drug user/dealer has.  F... them!

Texas?

Waco Biker gang asset?

Unless the officer is specially and specifically trained to race corvettes (Maybe a former CanAm or SCCA driver?) the police have no business chasing people around in a 600hp vehicle. I don't want to read about how officer friendly died wrapping himself around a light pole at 187 mph or how Sally Soccer mom was killed by a negligent high speed chase.

I'm also curious about how much it cost the taxpayers to retrofit a CORVETTE to police car standards and knowing a little something about how expensive it is to maintain a high performance vehicle.....who does the maintenance on this cause this ain't your daddy's crown vic?

Meh. You should see the police cars I've seen in the ME.



Here though, after homie has had his car seized through due process, they should sell it to fund general city/county revenues. I'd rather have a few bucks knocked off my taxes than a shiney toy for cops to blast around in.

Around here they lease or rent their vehicles.  There's a local lawyer who is really adept at getting it done for them.  Rentals are huge for the guys who are transporting heroin.  The smart dealers try to keep all their assets in cash or take advantage of the local lawyer's connections with offshore banks.  I know one who gladly did his five years in prison and promptly fled the country to retire in relative luxury at the first opportunity.  Only morons keep a bunch of stuff around to be seized.

1) Convict the owner of the property of felonies involving crime for profit.
2) Prove that the item was obtained by the profit from the crime.

Do these two things and you can have it. And then you can sell it, not tool around town in it like some sanctimonious moron who does not understand the difference between government grandstanding and gangster exhibitionism.

Well the first part of your post is a bunch of made up shit you assume. I won't be addressing your nonsense.

As for the 2nd part, how much does it costs to procure a police package vehicle and outfit it? Assuming you start with a free car and have to add lights, sirens, paint, and decals I bet it would be less money.

Fuck the drug dealers and the drug users. Just another drain on society and we're better off without them.

Actually, that is not true.   Property can be seized immediately (so that the bad guy can't sell off property bought thru ill gotten gains to pay for legal defense or flee), the property must be stored until the case is dispo'ed in court, and then converted for use or sale.  Our department rarely seized property because of how long the case would take to clear.

Yes.

After conviction, then no.  

One of the basic things about our justice system is a person is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.  The forfeiture of assets before being found guilty of a crime, and a link showing that the assets are a direct result of the criminal activity, or part of the crime is criminal in my opinion of the state.

Nope, nor is it ok for the police to gain money or material goods from arrests and convictions. It incentivizes them to make arrests resulting in forfeitures. Notice I said it incentivizes arrests leading to forfeitures, not arrests of guilty people.
