The arguments by the state make me sick.

Would the State of Indiana then make the claim that they could seize the Indianapolis Motor Speedway if one employee of the IMS Corporation was found to be using illegal drugs? Where does this end?
Indiana is the "San Francisco of the East." Let it begin here. It's going to be fun watching this twerp get his pee-pee smacked.
If the State could prove in Civil Court that the illegal profits were used to buy IMS...yes.
I don't know why they are making their case with THAT argument because it's dumb and wrong. It has always been the profits of criminal activity, what those profits purchased, or items used in commit the crimes. Been that was since the 80's.Actually, in the case being argued in the article, the car was NOT purchased with illegal profits. I think it would be a more accurate comparison to say that the state's position is that if the owner of IMS was selling drugs on IMS grounds, then the state could seize it.
No, there were certain criteria that had to be met. Now, if you borrowed your friend's car and hide kilo's in it to traffic narcotics and are caught...maybe. I've never seen an officer place a forfeiture hold on a vehicle for possession of narcotics...dealing...maybe. we did have a local Lottery fraud case where the lottery winner cheated (I don't remember how but it was clearly illegal). With the $100k or so that was won, they went on a shopping spree with the illegally begotten money. Cars, Motor Homes, houses. It was ALL confiscated and forfeited. The idea being that the suspects should not be able to keep the proceeds of their illegal activity.Using the idea that if you lend someone your car, and unknowing to you they use it to sell drugs, could it be confiscated by the government suckers? And if your car can be stolen from you by the state because someone else used it illegally, if someone used The Speedway as a location to sell drugs, would the state suckers then take possession of The Speedway?
So Indiana Solicitor General Thomas Fisher is appointed. There's no way to bounce this ass out of office unless we bounce the Governor? If he's put there by the Governor then maybe the Governor needs to get an earful.
