In nearly 60% of the cases, people didn’t fight their seizures in court at all, resulting in judges turning over the property to local governments by default.


this severely skews the findings/results of the study. So say 80% of the 60% chose to challenge, that would throw off the finally tally by a wide margin. of those who did challenge, how many were successful?

How much would they have to take before you found a lawyer to chase getting it back? Hiring a lawyer over a couple hundred bucks?

Now what if you are already pay check to pay check?

Or in a small town feeling intimidated by police who just stole your stuff and won’t give it back even after you are cleared? Worried they might mess with you more if you take them on?
