I like it. I should see if the chief will let us do that to a Caddy i just seized in Feb. Its all pimped out with DVD in dash and everything. When i return to work that would be a bad a$$ ride to cruise in and go by the dealers friends house with it every day. .
 
The KHP and several of the local county sheriff's offices have seized vehicles they've converted to police cars. The KHP has 2 really, really nice Vette's. The Reno County Sheriff has a tricked out Firebird that their D.A.R.E. Officer drives to the classes with the school kids.

A few years ago, just after seizing a tricked out Vette and putting lights and decals all over it, the KHP got in a chase with it along I-70 west of Salina. 15 miles down the road, the guy gave up because he couldn't get away....turns out it was the same dealer they took the Vette from, just out of prison from his last bust!!
 

Thats awsome. I think thats the best way to get back at those guys. Take their stuff!

Or after a drug bust take their vehicles and the dealers right to the junk yard and have them watch their vehicles get crushed right in front of them. That would hurt me alot more than just losing it.
 
It's better to take something that was used for bad deeds and turn it into something good.
It's funny, but I don't think it will make much a deterrant, but if that SO gets good service out of the vehicle that just saved the tax payers about $40K for a new vehicle.:p
 
Haha, nice! I'm jealous of the officers in Texas. They have a lot of nice rigs like that that they seize and turn into police vehicles.

What happens if they seize a car that isn't paid off?

My understanding of Kansas' policy is that they go ahead and seize it, and the debt is still on the drug dealer.
 
...who never pays it off cause he is in jail (and what are they going to do, put him in jail...again).
I can see the bank's repo man wheeling into the police parking lot with a slim jim trying to snatch the above Navigator.
How many tazers would he get?
 

Of course... the banks have been giving loans to dealers with no jobs, or at least no proof of employment so i see it as their problem for not looking into it. They sure seem to look into my credit thoroughly when i looked at a new Rubi, wonder why they don't look into dealers backgrounds too much. Maybe a payoff from the dealer?

Yeah. thats a good point. Until the loan is payed off the vehicle belongs to the bank..

No, actually, I believe the vehicle does belong to the person it is titled to, the bank just has a financial lien against it. Same as when you take a lien out with a mechanic to get major work done, the mechanic doesn't own the vehicle, you still do, just that he has a financial claim on it. He can have it repossessed to satisfy the lien, but until that time, he does not own it.

Any bankers here want to clarify that? That was my understanding from when I talked with my banker about my old Toyota PU when I took out a loan against it.
