I’m curious what Affirmative Defenses actually work?
Is there anything like the Waze app (traffic) for Civil Forfeiture? Like warnings for the Atlanta airport, towns doing cash shakedowns, etc. Any centralized list?
So, I have a situation Got arrested April 2021, which were not on grounds for even seizing my property, did not get charged for distribution or even had any drugs charges but sure as hell mad it seem like I was In the newspaper, made it out to be a big time drug bust, well, August 2022 the case was closed and I got convicted of “under the influence of a loaded firearm”. December, 2022 my PD filled a return of property the judge granted it back with good cause, on record he asked the DA if the money had went to asset forfeiture they said no.
So I went to the police station with the order and they said it went to asset forfeiture. I am basically getting thrown around in this situation and I’m stuck on what to do, my PD isn’t sure what to do and no lawyers say it’s in their category or work.. I really need advice in this situation..
I was thinking to sue the police department but unsure how I would go about serving them or how to go about it? Any advice will help thank you.. oh and I’m located in California.
If I could get my hands on some of the govt forfeited goods with attached names would anyone be willing to help in a new sub to raise awareness of and to help those who may not know details of their stuff? Yes I have access to all this data legally and all that but it's a lot more than I can do alone and feel like it works help others. Lmk

I spent every last dollar I had on it and only had it maybe a week before the cops came and took it. They told me maybe I’ll get it back when the case is over. That was 5 months ago and I called and the cop was being such a jerk he told me I probably won’t get it back now. I still have my title and the pink property receipt.
I saw the car online and the guy brought it to me I had no idea he shot someone in it, and I bought it. I never even had a chance to put it in my name.
