Court Orders California Cities To Stop Seizing Cars

October 14th, 2007 · No Comments

Labels:

The California Supreme Court has ruled that the situation that has been going on in Stockton and Oakland California must stop. The cities have been seizing the cars of people arrested for crimes involving prostitution and drugs.

This practice of seizing the cars has been very controversial, since they were seizing and at times even selling the cars of people who had not been convicted of any crimes. Just being accused of the crime was previously enough for the car to be seized, causing the owner to have to fight to try to get it back.

The California Supreme Court has finally ruled that after over 10 years of cars being seized during arrests, that the cities do not have the authority to do that. Innocent until proven guilty, right?

    Well, I guess the police in Las Vegas aren’t afraid of OJ Simpson after all. Today OJ was arrested and taken into police custody. Charges in connection with the armed robbery of the sports memorabilia dealer are pending.

    Excuse me for a moment while I do a happy dance.

    At least one other person has been arrested in connection with the armed robbery and more arrests are expected. And - get this - sources say that the thug that has already been arrested may very well turn on OJ.

    Simpson and Walter Alexander have been arrested so far. Alexander is charged with two counts of robbery with a deadly weapon, two counts of assault with a deadly weapon, conspiracy to commit robbery and burglary with a deadly weapon.

    Alexander’s attorney said that the DA has said that Alexander has a week to think about negotiating a plea agreement. I like the strategy they are using here. They are going to charge OJ’s thugs with every single thing they can think of, and basically force them to give up the goods on OJ Simpson.

    Oh, this is going to be good. OJ Simpson finally may get served some justice.
