Describe how a civil asset forfeiture law is used to address a crime problem
What will be an ideal response?
A city ordinance authorizing the use of a civil asset forfeiture law could be used to target the physical assets involved in criminal activity. For example, a local resident might be trafficking cocaine out of their home. If the police were to arrest the individual and show that the cocaine was being sold from that house, the home could be seized by the prosecutor filing a civil action. Moreover, the county or city government would now own the house and be able to sell it and receive the proceeds from the real estate sale.

Officer Pichler is a new officer working nights, who recently graduated from his FTO (Field Training Officer) program
One morning just before his shift was done, he saw a person driving 52 mph in a 20 mph school zone and so he wrote a citation to the errant driver for speeding. It was getting late and he needed to get the squad back to the station for the day shift so he decided to write his report for the speeding violation back at the station. Later, as he was writing the report, Officer Pichler realized that he forgot to retest the RADAR unit as he was trained to do after every RADAR citation. Officer Pichler ran outside and luckily found that the day shift officer was still in the parking lot. When Officer Pichler explained to the day shift officer what he needed to do, the older day shift officer said, "Just lie!" Officer Pichler was dumbfounded and after pausing, said, "It'll only take a minute." He retested the RADAR but wondered why the day shift officer was so willing to lie on the report.
