Civil forfeiture is a topic of interest on INGO so I thought INGO might be interested in the Indiana Court of Appeals decision handed down today upholding the dismissal of a civil forfeiture action against a heroin dealer were the State sought to forfeit his Land Rover. Forfeiture dismissal upheld on Eighth Amendment grounds as it constituted an excessive fine.
