Under the 14th Amendment, "No state shall...deprive any person of...property, without due process of law." This principle was at the heart of the matter of the 2023 Supreme Court case of Culley v. Marshall, in which two women had respectively loaned their cars to others only to have the cars seized under an Alabama civil forfeiture law following each lendee's arrest for drug offenses. The petitioners claimed that, absent a preliminary hearing, their 14th Amendment rights had been violated. Justice Kavanagh wrote for the majority stating that “In civil forfeiture cases, the Due Process Clause requires a timely forfeiture hearing, but does not require a separate preliminary hearing.” In this episode, Craig is joined by Attorney Kirby Thomas West from the Institute for Justice to discuss the recent SCOTUS decision in Culley v. Marshall. Craig & Kirby spotlight civil forfeiture and the potential impact of this ruling.

Between 2000 and 2019, the US Federal and State Governments pocketed 68.8 billion according to the Institute for Justice. Civil forfeiture, which is different than criminal forfeiture, is encroaching on citizen's rights. We look at the details of this little-known practice nationwide. We also examine the crime surge in blue cities that is destroying communities.

Sometimes referred to as Civil Asset Forfeiture, today's episode is an examination of the legalized theft that is civil forfeiture. Joining Hunter to unpack the intricacies of this topic, is Dan Alban. In his role at the Institute for Justice, Dan is one of the people at the forefront of people pushing back against the practice that flips the concept of innocent until proven guilty on its head. As you will hear on this episode, the complex legal nature of this topic masks a process that most Americans, when exposed to it, will viciously oppose.     Guests: Dan Alban, Senior Attorney at the Institute for Justice/Co-Director of the Campaign to end Forfeiture Abuse Resources: Richardson v. $20,771.00 U.S. Currency https://ij.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Initial-Brief-of-Respondents-FINAL-TO-FILE-07.15.20-IJ115663xA6322.pdf More on Richardson Case https://ij.org/report/policing-for-profit-3/pfp3content/evidence-suggests-forfeiture-doesnt-work/south-carolina-high-court-weighs-forfeiture-and-the-constitution/ Policing for Profit Report https://ij.org/report/policing-for-profit-3/ End Forfeiture Abuse https://endforfeiture.com/     Contact Hunter Parnell: Publicdefenseless@gmail.com  Instagram @PublicDefenselessPodcast Twitter                                                                 @PDefenselessPod www.publicdefenseless.com  Subscribe to the Patron www.patreon.com/PublicDefenselessPodcast  Donate on PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=5KW7WMJWEXTAJ Donate on Stripe https://donate.stripe.com/7sI01tb2v3dwaM8cMN  

#HELLSANGELS #HELLSANGELSMC #MOTORCYCLECLUBS The legal fight for the Hells Angels clubhouses doesn't appear to be over yet. Angel Acres Recreation and Festival Property, the owners of Nanaimo, Kelowna and East Vancouver clubhouses that were seized last week, filed an application in Canada's highest court on April 18 for leave to appeal a decision involving the Director of Civil Forfeiture. Whether the Supreme Court will decide to hear the case or not remains to be seen. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/motorcyclemadhouse/message

This week on Legally Speaking with Michael Mulligan:Unlike in the United States, where property rights are constitutionally protected, there is no similar protection in the Canadian Charter. Various provinces, including British Columbia, have set up civil forfeiture regimes that permit property to be seized absent any criminal conviction. Civil forfeiture can occur based on a civil standard of a balance of probabilities, rather than proof beyond a reasonable doubt. In British Columbia property can be seized if the government can prove that it's probably the “proceeds of unlawful activity” or an “instrument of unlawful activity”. In a recent decision, the BC Court of Appeal found that it was permissible for the provincial government to seize property on the basis that it would probably be used, in the future, for unlawful purposes even if there was no evidence that it had been used for unlawful purposes in the past. While seizing property on the basis that it is “likely to be used to engage in unlawful activity” in the future, on a civil standard of probably, may be constitutionally permissible, the public policy question that should be asked is whether this is fair or appropriate.When courts review legislation, they are not deciding if a law is fair or a good idea. The standard of review is whether the legislation is constitutionally permissible. Also, on the show, a case involving a sentence imposed by a judge for manslaughter, after a jury acquitted an accused of murder, but convicted of this lesser included offence is discussed. The case involved a 74-year-old man, with no criminal record, who shot a roommate who had engaged in frequent violent, threatening and unpredictable behaviour. On the evening in question the roommate had a dispute over rent and said that he would be dealing with the accused at midnight. When, at midnight, the roommate announced that the accused's time had come, and did not stop, the accused shot and killed him with a revolver. When a jury renders a verdict, the judge hearing the case needs to make findings of fact consistent with the verdict and sentence the accused accordingly. In the case discussed, the Crown asked the judge to find that the case was a “near murder” while the defence urged the judge to conclude it was “near self-defence”. The trial judge took a middle position and sentenced the then 77-year-old to 7 years in jail.The 7-year sentence was upheld on appeal. Finally, on the show, a man who was blocking a road to prevent logging was acquitted on a charge of contempt of court because the Crown didn't prove that the man had knowledge of the court order he was alleged to be in contempt of. The RCMP, who were enforcing the injunction, read only a summary of the injunction to the man before arresting him.The Crown argued that the doctrine of wilful blindness was applicable.  The judge concluded that this was not applicable as there wasn't evidence to support this. Wilful blindness could apply if, for example, someone plugged their ears or closed their eyes when an injunction was read or provided to them in writing. The judge hearing the case pointed out that it's a criminal offence to obstruct a highway for the purpose of compelling another person to abstain from doing anything they have a lawful right to do, and that knowledge of the law is presumed.  Because the prosecution was for contempt, rather than breaching section 423(1)(g) of the Criminal Code, the accused was found not guilty.

Dan Greenberg of the Competitive Enterprise Institute discusses five myths of civil forfeiture. Cash seizures are typically hundreds or thousands of dollars, not hundreds of thousands. People typically don't get their day in court and without due process. People are not convicted or even charged for wrong doing.

The "White Supremacy" Scapegoat, Civil Forfeiture, Unwarranted Self-Importance, Anti Anti-Israel Boycotts

Dallas police used civil forfeiture laws at Love Field to seize $106k from a woman. In Massachusetts a woman lost her car for six years over civil forfeiture laws. In Philadelphia the authorities took a man's car and over $500 because he was talking to someone they were surveilling. These are just three examples of civil forfeiture laws being used to hurt people and fund local governments. And this isn't fake. It's really happening. Dan and Producer-Wife Beth dig into this issue and raise awareness of just how scary this overreach has become.

Did you know that sometimes the government can take something from you without ever charging you with a crime?

This week on Legally Speaking with Michael Mulligan The Provincial and Supreme Court in British Columbia recently introduced practice directives requiring lawyers to indicate the proper gender pronoun for themselves, and their clients, before each hearing. Lawyers have been directed to indicate if they, and the client, wish to be referred to as he/him/his, she/her/hers or they/them/their.This was the subject of controversy at the recent BC Law Society annual general meeting where some lawyers were calling for more debate with respect to this direction. Of interest, in the BC Supreme Court, judges are referred to as either My Lady or My Lord and the practice direction doesn't require judges to advise which they prefer. In the BC Provincial Court, all judges are referred to as Your Honour. Several years ago, some BC Supreme Court Judges attempted to adopt Your Honour but were directed to return to either My Lady or My Lord. Also on the show, the provincial government is seeking the civil forfeiture of a $3 million Vancouver penthouse that was being used as a nightclub in violation of COVID-19 rules. The owner of the penthouse is alleged to have had hundreds of unmasked people in the penthouse, on multiple occasions.The police attended the penthouse on multiple occasions and seized things including DJ equipment, a dance pole, and a $5 bill found at the base of the dance pole. Unlike in criminal cases, civil forfeiture proceedings only require proof on a balance of probabilities.If the civil forfeiture proceedings are successful, the province could take the penthouse and things seized from it by the police. Similar proceedings are also possible for businesses that are failing to abide by the requirement to check the vaccine status of customers. Legally Speaking with Michael Mulligan is live on CFAX 1070 every Thursday at 10:30 am. It's also available on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.Follow this link for a transcript of the show and links to the cases discussed.

One can lose their money in a traffic stop, or their house over a lawn that is too long. This kind of nonsense has to be addressed, and it is up to all of us to vote these clowns out, and speak up when we see others affected.

We all know that the Constitution says that the government cannot deny anyone of life liberty or property without due process of law. But did you know that the government may be able to seize your property - even if you're not accused of a crime? It's true. Federal and state statutes allow authorities to take your property through a process called civil forfeiture. Many taxpayers are unclear on the laws and guidelines that support civil forfeiture. In this week’s podcast, Kelly and her guest Dan Alban, a fighting and pro-bono defense attorney for similar cases discuss the ins, outs, dos, and don’ts of civil forfeiture.   Hope for Civil Forfeiture Progression and Reform  Sadly, there have been many innocent victims who have experienced and are still experiencing Civil Forfeiture issues. Dan helps Kelly unfold many grey areas of Civil Forfeiture as well as tips and resources on how Taxpayers and other innocent victims can forgo their litigations or prevent future incidents. They share real life cases and how civil forfeiture has progressed, as well as the hopes and optimism for reform in the future.  Listen to Kelly and Dan cover many topics on Civil Forfeiture, such as:  The History of Civil Forfeiture  How Civil Forfeiture has transitioned  Structuring and the challenges with structuring  The expenses and process behind Civil Forfeiture Litigations  Pending Cases and Resolutions  The unknown air traveling with money rules and laws  Rules and Tips for Taxpayers   IRS Seizure Laws  Attorney Assistance and Legal Proceedings  Violations and Due Process  Hopes for progression and reforms  More About Kelly Phillips Erb:  Kelly is the creator and host of the new Taxgirl podcast series.

Did you know law enforcement can seize your property if they suspect it’s involved in a crime? Steve Forbes on civil asset forfeiture, a procedure claimed to target the illicit proceeds of organized crime has evolved as a revenue source for a number of government entities. As congress aims pass a major police reform bill few are talking about a critical law enforcement reform that disproportionately hurts low income communities and minorities.

In this episode, Dan Alban, Senior Attorney at the Institute for Justice, discusses civil forfeiture, and the complaint he and IJ recently filed in Brown v. TSA. Rebecca Brown was carrying $82,373 in cash given to her by her ailing father, in order to deposit it in a Boston bank and pay for his dental care, when the cash was confiscated by the TSA and DEA for no coherently articulated reason. IJ filed this action to help Brown recover her father's money, and filed it as a class action to help the thousands of other people who the TSA and DEA have similarly wronged. More information about the case is available here. Alban is on Twitter at @DanAlban.This episode was hosted by Brian L.

The British Columbia Director of Civil Forfeiture ordered to return $2 million in cash that was seized as part of the largest money-laundering case in BC history, due to misconduct at an ex parte hearing. The decision can be found here and the reasons on the original ex parte hearing here. "The Court must take the misconduct very seriously, because misleading statements in an ex parte hearing undermine the integrity of the process, and may even obliterate it. Misleading statements are of all the greater concern when they are made on behalf of a state actor carrying public authority and trust, whose actions have significant implications for individual rights and interests."The Court of Appeal requires a new certificate be issued by the British Columbia Minister of Environment and Minister of Natural Gas for the Trans Mountain Pipeline, even though the province cannot prevent or impede construction or operation of the pipeline.And one more example of why you shouldn't try to conduct your own trial without a lawyer, as the Court of Appeal denies an after the fact application to unseal the youth court record of a complainant.

Civil forfeiture laws allow federal, State, and local police departments to seize cash, cars, homes, and property that are suspected of being involved in criminal activity. And here is the crazy thing, the property owner doesn't have to be charged with, let alone convicted of, a crime to permanently lose this property. Alabama's civil forfeiture laws are some of the worst in the nation. In this episode, Matt Green breaks down the ins and outs of this judicial and government overreach. Plus, Matt shares some real-life cases fighting this injustice and offers some suggestions on how the State should balance the scales of justice of this controversial issue.

To raise revenue and make up for budget shortfalls, cities, states, courts, and prosecutors levy hefty fines at nearly every stage of the criminal justice system. People leaving prison owe on average $13,607 in fines and fees. For those who are poor, these fees can be catastrophic. An inability to pay can lead to a suspended license, additional fees, and even jail. In this Explainer, we explore all the ways the poor are regressively taxed in the justice system, and what can be done to stop these practices. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/nonseqshow/message

Aaron Freiwald, Managing Partner of Freiwald Law and host of the weekly podcast, Good Law | Bad Law, is joined by University of Pennsylvania Law Professor Louis Rulli, to discuss a landmark Supreme Court case on the issue of civil forfeiture.   Imagine being pulled over and having the police take all of your money before sending you on your way. It doesn’t sound like something that would happen here in America but it does. It’s called civil forfeiture and our guest, University of Pennsylvania Law Professor Louis Rulli, joins us today to talk about it. Aaron and Professor Rulli discuss the ins and outs of civil forfeiture including a recent Supreme Court case that examined the law under the 8th and 14th Amendments.   The Supreme Court case specifically looked at a case where a man, Tyson Timbs, was convicted of selling $225 worth of heroin to undercover police officers. In addition to one year of house arrest, five years of probation, and $1,200 in fees and fines, Mr. Timbs’ $42,000 Land Rover was confiscated even though it was purchased with the inheritance from his father’s life insurance policy. There are also concerns that asset forfeiture has a racial component because minorities are more often subjected to these “fines.”   This is a fascinating, albeit scary, discussion with Professor Rulli about Civil Forfeiture and the role it plays in our criminal justice system.   Host: Aaron FreiwaldGuest: Louis Rulli   Follow Good Law | Bad Law:YouTube: Good Law | Bad LawInstagram: @GoodLawBadLawWebsite: https://www.law-podcast.com

Bibhas Vaze is a criminal defence lawyer in Vancouver. In this episode we discuss British Columbia's civil forfeiture regime and how it relates to immigration. Did you know that in British Columbia the government can seize and forfeit your car if you speed? Or that police can "seize first ask later" for property that is less than $75,000? This was a fascinating look at an area of law that receives little scrutiny.

The decision, which united the court's conservatives and liberals, makes clear that the Eighth Amendment's prohibition against "excessive fines" applies to states and localities as well as the federal government.    WHAT'S IN THE NEWS In a bad boys update, the Houston Police Department will end its use of controversial no-knock warrants in most situations, Chief Art Acevedo said during a contentious town hall meeting three weeks after a deadly Pecan Park drug raid that left two people dead and five officers injured. In government indoctrination centers news, an eleven-year-old Florida boy was arrested after refusing to recite the Pledge of Allegiance in class. In unreasonable searches news, a bill introduced in the Arizona State Senate would create the largest DNA database in the country. In another bad boys update from Houston, the Houston officer bad apple who lied about the informant that led to two people dead, Houston Police Officer Gerald Goines, had a troubling history of allegations against him.

The case of Timbs v. Indiana poses a very outcome dependent question of whether or not civil forfeiture is unfair and poorly managed, so to keep this podcast interesting, Brett and Nazim go through each argument for and against and assign a numerical value to really see what they think at the end of the day.  The law was supposed to start at (05:06), but it gets side-tracked with DMV stories and truly starts at (09:18).

In this episode, host Justin Bullock, chats with Bush School students Kassie Jones, Harrison Gregg, Emma Alexander, Nick Partipilo, and Zachary Wimer about their work on civil forfeiture.

Indiana regarding civil forfeiture -- and a delightful question (that inspired the graphic for the show notes) about whether the state can seize your Bugatti for speeding.  Oh, and we check back in on the Ann Coulter v. Berkeley lawsuit that was recently settled.  What happened?  Listen and find out! We begin with the Berkeley settlement, and break down exactly what the University did (and didn't) promise to do going forward.  Is this a "big win" for the right wing?  (Hint: no.) Then, it's time to delve deeply into Timbs v. Indiana and discuss the law of civil asset forfeiture, the doctrine of proportionality, and even the concept of incorporation.  Yes, it's a crazy Civ Pro kinda day.. you won't want to miss it! Then, it's time for a BRAND NEW SEGMENT -- "Yodel Mountain Remembers!"  We think you're gonna love it! Oh, and we also tackle a terrific listener question about the "apology doctrine" and the nation that made apologies famous -- Canada (of course). After all that, it's time for the answer to Thomas Takes The Bar Exam #104 regarding government action and the warrant requirement of the Fifth Amendment.  As always, remember to follow our Twitter feed (@Openargs) and like our Facebook Page so that you too can play along with #TTTBE!

"nor excessive fines imposed..." - 8th Amendment So what happens when a young man sells four grams of heroin to an undercover cop? Obviously, he gets busted, does a year on house arrest, and pays a fine. Then he decided to get his life back together and heads out to find a new job. But... The cops weren't done. They used civil forfeiture laws to seize his car, valued at $40,000. Don't read too much into that value, there is a valid reason that he had the money to buy it in the first place. He sued, and the lower State Court held that he should get his car back. After all, it was only 4 ounces of heroin, and he had paid the fine the Court had imposed... The Law Enforcement agencies appealed it to the State Supreme Court...

More and more Canadians are being victimized by laws that allow authorities to seize assets that are suspected of being the proceeds of crime. In several provinces, property and other assets can be seized even without formal charges being laid, let alone a conviction in the case. Authorities only have to prove, based on a balance of probabilities, that property was acquired by illegal means or was used to help commit a crime. Such laws were originally created to help fight organized crime, but many now argue that the net is far too wide. An example is the story of Chad Squire who was stopped by the RCMP near Brooks Alberta in 2010. Police seized $27,000 from him, claiming that it must have been acquired illegally. In fact it was money he received from selling his house, but it took two years and an expensive court fight before it was returned. 74 year old Elizabeth Thomson of Calgary, watched as Alberta Justice obtained an order against her condo, accusing her son of using the property for criminal purposes. Later, it was revealed that the son had used her address on business documents without her knowledge. Such cases show that all law-abiding Canadians should receive the same protection against search and seizure which is found in the Criminal Code and the Charter of Rights. I’m Roger Currie.
