Halifax District RCMP Seek Public Assistance to Identify Driver | SaltWireWASHINGTON - The U.S. Supreme Court's conservative majority on Monday appeared sympathetic to Alabama officials who defended a law that allowed police to seize and impound cars after drug arrests despite the owners having no direct ties to the alleged crime.
Lena Sutton's vehicle was seized while it was being driven by a friend who borrowed it and was arrested for methamphetamine possession. Halima Culley's car was seized when her college-aged son was arrested for marijuana possession while driving it. "If you had filed a motion for summary judgment a week after the property had been taken, or the process had begun - forfeiture proceedings began - would you be here?" conservative Justice Clarence Thomas asked a lawyer for the plaintiffs.
Since the suits were filed, Alabama has revised the civil forfeiture law at issue to let someone who claims to be an innocent owner request a hearing at any time after the property seizure.
