civil asset forfeiture

Today on Legalese we will be discussing a recent case out of the Sixth Circuit – ‘Ingram v Wayne County’ in which the Court held that when a car is seized under civil asset forfeiture, the owner has a constitutional right to a hearing within two weeks of the seizure.
On top of that encouraging majority opinion, we also discuss the concurring opinion filed in this case by prominent conservative jurist Judge Amul Thapar that takes an even more striking and encouraging position.
