Civil Forfeiture Detroit...Be Aware.
The laws in MI were historically quite horrendous so reform was signed into law in several years ago, but the city of Detroit pivoted to a different interpretation of the law.
As an example years ago a property owners were served a search warrant on property, but was never charged, nor was any evidence of law breaking found. Law enforcement still seized a restored 1965 NOVA SS and the trailer it was stored in. Camaros, Mustangs, and Ferrari's seized as well in the last decade. The newest and latest battle involved youtubers Dream cars daily. Be aware. IF I am understanding this correctly the Detroit police could see you spectating at Woodward and someone turns the tires, and you are simply near the event your car can be selectively seized. Please do not make this thread political. Increasingly it appears we are having trouble discussing anything serious on the forum without forum rules getting looked at and entire threads deleted as a result. |

Reminds me of the nightmare endured by COPO Pete (Simpson)

I think the nightmare with Pete's car was due to it being stolen and brought to the reserve.

It was relayed to me that they went after the truck and the car was a bonus. Once it was known and the value, the rez cops were brought in to PRESERVE the car and help keeps things calm while getting it returned. I was told they also wanted to keep the motor, but my guy said no. He told me he made it clear that car was to be returned IN ONE PIECE with no damage. He had his security outfit watch the car while it was out there. That is the story from the rez side.

True story... On the way to Chicago years ago thieves tried to make off with my entire tow rig, hooked to my trailer, that contained a show car. They accomplished literally thousands of dollars of damage trying to make off with the truck. They failed because I had installed many layers of anti theft equipment to slow them down. There was blood in the cab where they lacerated themselves in the attempt. Why was I so detailed with the layered anti theft equipment? Because I learned the lessons of COPO Pete and I knew that very likely LEO could not be counted on to investigate. Sure enough: So we get up go out to the truck first thing, glass from the window they broke to gain access all over the ground, the column was peeled--blood everyplace including fingerprints-- trailer jack was released and the rig was in a "ready to roll" configuration. So the police arrive call it vandalism and tell me to turn it into my insurance company and then flatly refuse to investigate. Technically they were just attempting to steal my truck. The enclosed trailer and show car was a "bonus". |

Here is another perspective on this. Looks like they were going street racing in Detroit in their own words and video of the white car racing a Hellcat.
