Understanding Vehicle Seizure – A Serious Threat

At Rucci Law, we understand the immense stress and potential financial hardship associated with asset forfeiture. When law enforcement seizes your vehicle – whether due to suspicion of drug trafficking, illegal activity, or simply possessing items flagged during a traffic stop – you are facing a significant legal challenge. This isn’t just about losing your car; it’s about potential loss of your livelihood and a disruption to your life. We specialize in defending against these seizures, and we’re committed to safeguarding your constitutional rights.

What is Vehicle Seizure? Vehicle seizure, also known as civil asset forfeiture, allows the government to take your property – in this case, your vehicle – without a criminal conviction. This is a critical distinction. Unlike a criminal case where the government must prove your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, in a civil asset forfeiture case, the government only needs to demonstrate a *connection* between the vehicle and criminal activity. This burden of proof is inherently unfair and frequently leads to overreach.

Your Rights in a Vehicle Seizure Case

The Due Process Concerns: The 8th and 14th Amendments to the U.S. Constitution provide crucial protections against arbitrary government action. We aggressively challenge forfeiture proceedings based on these rights, focusing on demonstrating:

• Lack of Evidence: The government’s evidence is insufficient to establish a direct link between your vehicle and the alleged crime.
• Procedural Errors: The government failed to follow proper legal procedures during the seizure process.
• Lack of Probable Cause: The initial seizure was based on insufficient probable cause.

Rucci Law’s Approach: We meticulously investigate every aspect of your case, reviewing police reports, identifying weaknesses in the government’s evidence, and seeking judicial oversight to ensure fairness.
