Well John, you know what......I'm all for the "do the crime, do the time, pay the fine or both" but I'm strongly against the the government seizing private assets from it's citizens. That is blatantly wrong and a sure sign of a government overstepping it's bounds. You put somebody in jail if they are a hazard to society. You DON'T take things away from people and their families. It is wrong on many levels.

Mark, I agree unless these items were illfully gained with drug money....

Last time I checked the rules about a DUI they didn't take your car so why would they take his chair!!

Kim, this is just a guess based on my history, if you are operating an uninsured, unregistered motor vehicle on a public road and get pulled for a violation your vehicle is impounded ( mine was). It will not be returned until it is street legal registered. I would imagine if you throw a DWI/DUI in the mix with current new forfeiture laws you'll be looking for a new squat.
PS. my off road motorcycle had no papers and i lost it to the man in 1975

"they" yank cars of people transporting "undocumented workers" and virtually anything used in a crime.

I am NOT a law enforcement official but I do understand personal responsibility ...

IF there is a law that you have broken and are caught then you have to suffer the consequences of all the specifics that that law states in the state/city/county/country/whatever where you broke it

according to the info posted this particular seizure was the result of an accident with a parked vehicle

again, I have no 1st hand knowledge of this person, his actions or anything else other than according to the info the seizure happened in 08.

In AZ you lose your car from repeated drunk driving citations.

Most of the laws today don't make sense. In Iowa if you hit a deer with your car the state doesn't own it. But shoot one with out a hunting license. Your looking at 2500.00 fine lost of your gun,truck and what ever else they can steal from you. DUH DUH DUH!! <font color="#666666"> </font>

property crime forfeitures are about greedy governments after money and have nothing to do with punishment. Forfeitures of property should be held to provable ill-gotten gains, ie: drug money or similar. Taking ones property because of dui or racing is theft.

I think that yahoos are bidding it up for fun. I am willing to bet that the high bidder walks. I also think that the City will pursue charges on the high bidder. I mean, who would pay 40k or more for that thing?
