Forfeiture

Forfeiture – Law enforcement agencies are aggressively seizing people’s money and assets by a process they call forfeiture. The law allows these agencies to seize certain assets or money under certain circumstances. For example, if someone is growing marijuana in their house, the officers might be able to seize grow lamps and agricultural supplies. Unfortunately, law enforcement often believes they can also seize your tractor, pickup, and any money you may have also.

They may be able to seize money if they can show it is related to drug activity. They may be able to seize your car if they can show you have certain traffic violations. Unfortunately, we hear far too many stories of law enforcement seizing large amounts of money when there is no relationship to drugs or maybe even when there is a simple possession of marijuana charge. You have due process rights that the government must abide by when they seize your assets. We have even heard of agencies seizing money when there is no relationship to any criminal activity and without filing any legal proceedings or even any paperwork with the court.
