To help make up for lost revenue, more Michigan counties are seeing forfeiture of the cars driven by people arrested for DUI. Will yours be next?
If the Oakland County Prosecutor has her way, then the answer may well be “yes.” Jessica Cooper has instructed her prosecutors to seek forfeiture for repeat drunk driving offenses.
Here is what the Royal Oak Daily Tribune had to say about it:
Michigan shares a rather large border with Canada and so it is very common for Michigan residents to travel to Canada for both business and pleasure. Being convicted of even a single instance of drunk driving can complicate such travel.
According to an excellent In and Out of Canada Article written by top DUI lawyer Wayne R. Foote:
Canadian inadmissibility is governed by the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. It states that a Michigan resident is inadmissible if he or she committed a single “indictable” offense. This includes drunk driving.
