Re: Story headlined “New anti-drug message comes on wheels,” about the Collier County Sheriff’s Office turning a drug suspect’s SUV into a crime-fighting vehicle.
Before jumping on the bandwagon for forfeiture, people should be advised that 80 percent of the property confiscated is never accompanied by an arrest, let alone a conviction, for drugs or any other crime.
A mere accusation by law enforcement can cause an innocent owner to lose his property. Even though no evidence of drugs and no illegal activity is uncovered, it is near impossible to recover wrongly seized money and property.
