"A judge eventually awarded the trailer to the Alvarado Police Department after police brought forth evidence the original owner has reported the trailer stolen."

You guys do know there are hidden VINS on things other than cars correct ? C'mon, tell me you knew that...

I don't really give a rats ass, his stolen trailer was found to be stolen. The trailer in the op was not found to be stolen, it was found to be without any Vin.

I have never seen a department try to seize a vehicle when bunch was owed on it.

Right. Just like you won't see them seize shitty old computers, or a flip phone, or some junk POS car used in a drug deal. There isn't enough meat on the bone to bother with.

That's what makes this issue clearly an issue of legalized theft. If "seizing the assets used in a criminal offense" was truly the goal, they would take all that shit. Instead, they cherry pick whatever valuables they feel like taking for themselves. It's bullshit and you know it.

No, it's punishment for committing a felony in most cases. They will seize your POS car also. Not just selective. Did you miss the point about it not being worth the pay off so no go. Why would you seize something that was worth less than owed on it? The loser is the guy that owns it, we would be helping him out to seize it. Don't get me wrong I am not siding with the seize everything you can theory. Burglary of habs car, I am in, drug dealers car he paid cash for, all in, Stolen Wells Fargo trailer with home made tags, I am in! We use the proceeds to buy equipment we need. You act like everyone at the department gets some kind of bonus. I can't remember the last time my current department seized something so not really my fight on this. I am just explaining to you kind gentlemen why it happens.

I know about a badass lightning that just had $20k in upgrades just done built motor big whipple fuel system DEA paid his $4k bill at the speed shop and seized it !!!

No, that is not true at all. The person doesn't have to be convicted of - or even charged with - a crime, in order for assets to be legally seized.

Now lets talk about the amazing deals some people have gotten at the police auction. Everyone knows a guy, or knows of a guy, who got a great deal. Start telling those stories.

[Ruffdaddy]

It doesnt matter if the money goes directly to the officers or not.

Thats like me saying "i could use a new mill, lathe and and truck at work. Ill get some tax money to pay billy to sit on the side of the road until he finds enough trailers to steal and sell so that we can pay for it. Its equipment to do my job...so thats okay to do"

There's rarely deals anymore. People bid stupid on some of that stuff. I rountinely see full retail on most cars/trucks.
