Introduction<\/h2>\n
Criminal forfeiture laws allow law enforcement to seize property that they believe is involved in a crime. This makes sense when property, such as cars or homes, is\u00a0purchased using funds from illegal activities, such as fraud, identity theft or drug crimes.<\/p>\n
Unfortunately, it’s all too easy for property to be seized from those who were not directly involved in a crime. If a family member commits a crime and is arrested while using your vehicle, for example, your vehicle may be seized on the spot.<\/p>\n
Even if you weren’t personally involved in the crime or the arrest, you can still have your property forfeited simply because of the way Arizona’s criminal forfeiture laws are written.<\/p>\n
