f*cking rediculous florida law
Re: f*cking rediculous florida law
not trying to sound like a know it all but, I learned from experience if you are arrested in FL for Fleeing and Eluding, or any other felony on your bike the police can and WILL seize your bike, especially in Tampa bay area, I know from experience its called the forfeiture act, any vehicle used in a felony becomes the states property, if you have a lien on it they will either pay it off or tell you you can "buy" the vehicle back for a lot of money but less than you owe, the whole thing is a business, the seize your bike and if you owe nothing then they take it to a auction and sell it. but you do get a chance to have it back you have to request a hearing within 10 days of forfeiture and then you go to Civil court and try to pursued the judge to give it back, usually they keep it unless you awe a ton of money on it then they will let you buy it back... the law reads:
.Sections 932.701-1932.707 shall be known and may be cited as the "Florida Contraband Forfeiture Act." Any personal property, including, but not limited to, any vessel, aircraft, item, object, tool, substance, device, weapon, machine, vehicle of any kind, money, securities, books, records, research, negotiable instruments, or currency, which was used or was attempted to be used as an instrumentality in the commission of, or in aiding or abetting in the commission of, any felony, whether or not comprising an element of the felony, or which is acquired by proceeds obtained as a result of a violation of the Florida Contraband Forfeiture Act
