| Subject: Lawsuit challenges Wayne County's seizure practices Sat Feb 08, 2020 12:37 am | |
| The Institute for Justice (IJ), a nonprofit libertarian law firm, filed a federal, class-action lawsuit alleging Wayne County’s vehicle seizure practices are unconstitutional. The lawsuit argues the practices violate the Fourth Amendment protecting unreasonable search and seizure, the Eighth Amendment’s protection against excessive fines and fees, and due process under the federal Constitution. “The county’s policies and practices are not calculated to get at the truth; they are calculated to ensure that forfeiture activity benefits the county financially,” the lawsuit states.
