Among 47 traffic stops, police arrested 11 people and towed 10 vehicles. Some vehicles were lost to asset forfeiture, meaning the drivers lost the car permanently by participating in street racing. Most takeovers were broken up in minutes, police said in a news release.
I don’t agree with things like forfeiture of assets suspected to be bought using the proceeds of a crime, like seizing the house and assets of a suspected drug dealer or something because they must have bought it using cash from selling drugs.
However I have no problem seizing assets that are actively being used in a crime.
Take the cars of people street racing or driving drunk, just as you would take the guns of murderers and people performing armed robbery.
