Nah probably can’t sue them. Either hide behind one or both of sovereign immunity for the city ect or qualified immunity for the police. They are untouchable. You’d have to win a civil rights case first then have magic happen to maybe sue someone in this case. Never going to happen and his lawyer knows that. He may push a little on a fourth amendment violation but it would be long drawn out and cost much more than those cars are worth to try. Then on top of it sovereign immunity for the locality will kick in and unless they pin it on one certain person there will be no one to sue.
A chance to set precedent that would discourage future behavior like this, but doubtful. It's Detroit. It's closer to a 3rd world country than the rest of the country.

You're not wrong at all.Isn't it ironic that so many Hellcats/Scatpacks are confiscated in Detroit daily and the Detroit police chief just happens to own a real nice Challenger Scatpack too
Marion County, Oregon does this sort of thing too. I'm unfortunately VERY aware that they would claim they smell pot from a sports car, take it, and gamble that the 17 year old kid can't afford the storage so the sheriff can keep the cars and use them as unmarked cop cars. Mustangs, Subarus, a Hellcat, all are or have been used in this county. No Lamborghinis that I'm aware of, but the kind of kid who is going to have a hard time pushing back isn't going to have much more valuable a car than a Mustang or WRX. Which is why they target kids, not youtubers.

I live in metro Detroit and they are 100 percent serious. People. Get pulled over if your matching the speed of the person next to or in front of you. I sped up to move out of the way of an emergency vehicle and so did the guy in the fast lane and we both got pulled over for street racing. It's a trap to get. Money
In Detroit, apparently the authority to take property apparently requires almost no justification. Good luck with your lawsuit. I hope you can make those individual officers who falsified records pay if you can, not just the city of Detroit. Falsifying records, using their authority for financial gain, damaging private property, defamation, altering legal records, and using police authority for personal, professional or financial gain.
that's in pretty much every single state and city. civil forfeitures are a thing. they just say they suspect you of a crime and can say you used x property or you're about to commit a crime with x property. In some states they can force you to give them your debit card and they can take all of your money out of your bank claiming you were going to use it to commit a crime... that's just cops. some banks will seize your funds if they suspect you..
If this outrages you, please consider supporting the nonprofit Institute For Justice. They are just about the only law firm fighting civil asset forfeiture abuse.
More than having an organization of lawyers to battle for the reclamation of seized property, there needs to be lawyers willing to challenge and sue against the legislature, PD in Federal Court. 😣 The law and implementation by the PD are clearly Unconstitutional; Violations of The Fourth Amendment which states explicitly that a warrant is required for search and seizure according to the specifications stated and includes "probable cause". 🤓 There is NO permission to threaten, arrest, search or seize property, persons, belongings, affects based upon potential or association, especially just upon presence which is legal. 😏 We clearly get the basis of the law, which is Authoritative and intends to threaten those that are passive or just present, but not actually participating, but the claim is intended to allow the police of accuse, arrest, etc. those that are passive and not actually in violation of any law. 😑 However, the US Constitution, explicitly, strictly prohibits such invasion of individual rights and include all such legislation, rules, laws, orders, 😒etc. at every level from the Federal, State, County, City through local. Simple. 🤓 Period. 🤓 Sincerely 😄
@@newtonfirefly3584 I agree 100%. The law needs to be challenged at the highest levels, instead of just on a case by case individual level. Qualified immunity is another issue that needs to be challenged. I'm not anti-police at all, by the way. But the statute as it stands is clearly not only unconstitutional but illogical. Right now a rogue LEO can violate your rights with impunity so long as they do it in a way that has not been previously adjudicated in another case. I don't really have the vocabulary to convey the problem concisely, so I will use an analogy: suppose a district court has previously ruled that some officer A was in the wrong for entering a citizen's house while in uniform and taking all the cookies from the pantry. Qualified immunity as it is being applied now means that when officer B enters a citizen's house in uniform and takes all the breakfast cereal from the pantry, the precedent from the first case can not be applied. Even though anyone with common sense knows there's fundamentally no difference between taking the cookies and taking the breakfast cereal.
@@ShadowWizard123 yes, am glad You comprehend the illegality and unconstitutionality of the law. You described the the concept of "qualified immunity" well. However, from where did You get this legal concept from? Also, it would not apply to any law or violation of the constitution, clearly. There does not need to be a precedent, since the law is clear, therefore there can not be any immunity. This concept must only apply to specific type of laws or cases, but am not yet familiar with it. Will search about it. Sincerely
The plan was to plot, seize, steal, then gift the car to a higher authority figure for themself. If it succeeded it would’ve been repainted, plates changed with new title under a false surname. But the plan failed. I’m glad it did.👍🏼
Sadly I don’t think he’d win a lawsuit, civil asset forfeiture law is very sided with the government. No crimes or convictions need to be placed for them to take cash, cars, homes, etc
@@n.ademak5842 but this was not suspected to have been the proceeds of criminal activity, nor was the criminal activity proven to have happened in detriot, (a matter of venue). The government can take anything they reasonably suspect is ill gotten from illegal activity (cash, property) but they would have a hard time proving this case, in the end, however long it would take. I remember someone had their truck taken for 5 years. He filed a lawsuit and when it was gaining traction they gave him the truck back to have the lawsuit dismissed as "moot". So yeah they can play lots of games but if it's unconstitutional without due process it will eventually be settled through a lawsuit.
Detroit is out of money and looking for any reason to make some. That being said, you would think they would be treating visitors better to make them want to come back and spend money there...
its TSNLS takeovers they are doing this over. they won't do shit for murders buuuuuuut, a dodge hellcat going 90 on i75? 3 helicopters, 5 city pursuit and all.
They're so stupid. Film and tv studios wanted to film all over Detroit (due to the state of many areas) and the city said they wouldn't give them any tax breaks, so they kept on going to Georgia.
This is unfortunately also happening in Denmark. Back in 2021 a new law was passed, giving police the right to impound your car, if you do double the speed limit or go over 200 km/h. The worst thing is, they don't necessarily need to have measurement of your exact speed, meaning that they can claim that you have been speeding, streetracing etc. Your car will then get impounded by the police and you will "maybe" get it back.
As a fellow native from Kalamazoo I’m glad to hear that you at least got the cars back. It just sucks that you had to go through all of that and spend a bunch of money for your cars that never should have been taken to begin with.
I never heard of this page until RUclips recommended it a few minutes ago after I watched a Lehto video. Between cars, Michigan, and asset seizure, it totally sounds Lehto-appropriate.
Was thinking the same thing. Something needs to be done about stuff like this. It's an outrageous abuse of power by law enforcement and a disgrace to the good police out there. Some people need to lose their jobs and ability to be hired as law enforcement for life.
This is the same city that was illegally selling people's homes for a couple thousand dollars of back property taxes. The state Supreme Court eventually forced Detroit to stop, but since they had stolen so many homes and it faced such massive liability, they didn't face any repercussions... Only would if they did so going forward.
@@BabyJesus66 correct, but the surplus goes to the homeowner. Detroit was likely keeping all the proceeds, leaving the homeowners with nothing but a mortgage liability.
@@SuperVeeZee and they were also artificially inflating the assessed value of the home to squeeze more tax revenue. On top of that, they were doing it very quickly as opposed to the owner having a bit of time to rectify the situation. Literally stealing houses out from under people. I fly for an airline with a Detroit base, and some of my coworkers were buying dozens of houses for literally 3-4 grand each, in Romulus, the town that Detroit International Airport is located. Basically they'd buy the house for 4 grandish, then the former owner becomes the renter... In less than 6 months they've recouped the investment in rent and now have a huge asset and the owner has lost everything.
@@BobbyGeneric145 According to another commenter on here in another post, if one cop doesn't "FIX" the entire police department he is as guilty as the rest. Going on this thought that it's wrong for the local government to do it, is your coworkers just as guilty as the crooks selling the homes illegally/immoraly?
These are the bad 10% that make the other 90 look bad. Sad honestly. I thought this dbag would be a good governor, WRONG! Just another swamp dweller with an R instead of a D in front of their name.
This are orders from the top some of these towns have no revenue so they use law enforcement to take whatever cash and assets they can it takes a lot of money to get it back and due to qualify immunity is very hard to sue for damages.
Its times like these that I appreciate when this happens to people who have their OWN voice. Like you weren't some poor pedestrian who worked his ass off to buy a luxury vehicle -- just to have it repo'd for NO REASON and with NO lawyer or way of getting it back. You had your own RUclips presence as well, which is worth its weight in gold in situations like this. Makes you easy to find, and makes your person and story credible. Makes me very upset to consider what could've happened instead. ACAB
Sounds like the “fees” included the tows for parading the cars to press conferences. Parading the cars around cannot be legal either, as the police didn’t own the cars yet.
Unfortunately, every word said here is true. I’m afraid to drive in my own neighborhood sometimes because you never know when or where a drifting event might pop up. And it’s more than just the police taking your car you have to worry about.
If you can get close to assembling enough plaintiffs, you should totally class action sue their asses. I don't know if that's even a possibility. Screw that PD.
but yet a lady throws a newborn baby in a dumpster and they calmly walk up and arrest her, no forcing her to the ground, no pepper spray, such a broken system
Did you pursue legal action for defamation, damages, and loss of income? You're a YTer and those cars with logos show they are porperty of the business and not having them could have caused loss of income and damages to the vehicle.
@@tenrai0taco yea that what im thinking uaually if your suing someone you dont just blab everything you keep it on the dl so they can discredit you or you can mis-speak one time and they claim you changed the story
The fact they can just yoink your car for being in the general area of an event is absolutely insane. I have no choice but to believe it seeing as how I've personally been stopped in well known areas for street racing just for passing through the next day with no activities going on. If you live in Shreveport LA, then you know what I'm talking about. I swear cops just SEE fast cars and have instant beef with them for no reason at all. Nothing tarnishes a otherwise decent city's rep like a corrupt/bored police force that just hunts for trouble.
I've got 1000s of links on you tube that will reassure you to never trust law enforcement. It doesn't have to happen to you for you to change your mind
Look at institution for justice, the innocence project and the real news network of police accountability. That will start you off with a few hundred videos of corruption in our justice system from top to bottom
People will enforce anything for a paycheck, just look at the unconstitutional mandates, health tracking, & CV 'health' policies. A badge & a gun just makes it easier to be a tyrant especially when the population being oppressed is divided due to media fear/race propaganda & unarmed.
I hope that guy and his attorney goes after this corruption. Get every single detail and all the numbers and sue their ass. That is ridiculous , glad you got the cars back
"If they think you have been doing X, Y or Z"...How does that pass the smell test for "Due process and Rule of Law"... Sounds more like the exact opposite... Much along the lines of Civil Forfeiture...
So, if you are sitting at a stoplight and somebody does something stupid in a car, the detroit police can steal your car, because they think you committed or observed a crime? Sounds like a RICCO investigation should be done.
@julian blake theres a freedom to be healthy. Nobodys putting a.gun to your head and forcing you to eat trash. Same with the freedom to be safe. I exercise that freedom every day and all it costs me is a bit of weight on my belt. We do have freedom here. The cops try to take away what they can and they win in court way too often but we are still a mostly free country. I'm free to smoke a pack a day, drink till i drop and eat what i want until my overtaxed heart explodes. And thats beautiful. I dont do that but its nice having the optiom
Sue the sh!t out of them, AND the so called Police Chief that called you a liar! (I think Northern Ireland still lets you sue for libel regardless of where the offence was committed, but that may have stopped)
Dude your lawyer owes you for all the business! The lawyer can sue as a class action lawsuit, you only need 5 plaintiffs, you and Romney are 2 of them. Class actions have a much lower bar for success
Civil asset forfeiture is commonplace across the entire US are you sure thats the same as "corrupt cop" or corrupt system/ mindless drones who "just follow orders"
It's a democrat ran shit hole where they would like nothing more to then to control everything you do including how you breath, so zero surprises all this happened.
I'm in Detroit and this is a big part of why I have another family members name on my hotrods and classics. They'll have a much more difficult time seizing a car when there are other involved parties.
Now you bring up the Constitution? Really? That ship sailed long ago. Wear a mask, inject the poison, and keep on voting however, that will change things!
@@auralumin When is enough, enough? When do you fight back? Do you know how to fight back? If you're a Veteran like me, you might. The new War, is right here in America. 🐸
It's crazy that this could be legal. Texas just passed a similar law allowing them to impound your vehicle if they think you are about to race or involved in some sort of race/sideshow. I hope states are forced to drop this unjust law.
Very concerned about this myself. Civil asset forfeiture may have been a good tool in the war on drugs. However that's questionable seeing as the war on drugs in my opinion is a victimless crime. Meaning that someone who does drugs sufferers from the consequences of their own actions without intervention. (Rabbit whole) This whole what's the movie that I'm thinking of ? Minority Report? Anyway trying to prevent crime before it happens is just wrong. And if someone is getting caught doing something dangerous or stupid on multiple occasions from what I have seen has been inconsistent. I saw where someone the other day was driving under the influence and had had multiple accidents. This individual had been incarcerated and had charges pending and had a fatal accident in the midst of that. Anyway I am thankful for the local drag strip if more of us who enjoy high performance supported tracks and road courses then we could scratch that itch legally where it wouldn't be a problem.
This is literally the most horrific story about rogue officials I have heard in my life. These cops AND their 'chief' belong in court, in front of a judge.
Makes you want to add a "disable feature" to the cars so they can't be driven. They'd probably arrest you for not letting them drive (and damage) the cars. What a pi$$ poor action of the Detroit PD.
Or a self destruct button activated by cell phone. In case it was permanently confiscated in the courts. . Maybe some hidden incendiary device to ignite the entire car.
With today's current technology I'd want to know as soon as it moves and then I would disable it right in the middle of some fucking intersection they didn't take these cars just to be able to have press conferences somebody was taking him out and driving him I guarantee and of course had you had tracking device information on the cars which I'm hoping he has that would be huge in any subsequent civil cases
Yes please absolutely sue them for the damages and loss of use, even if you don’t win and it cost money, it is a principal and hopefully will waste their time as much as possible
That was big violation of your 4th amendment rights. I hope you sue them for millions, teach them a lesson. City policy doesn't trump your constitutional right.

You're not wrong at all.Isn't it ironic that so many Hellcats/Scatpacks are confiscated in Detroit daily and the Detroit police chief just happens to own a real nice Challenger Scatpack too
Marion County, Oregon does this sort of thing too. I'm unfortunately VERY aware that they would claim they smell pot from a sports car, take it, and gamble that the 17 year old kid can't afford the storage so the sheriff can keep the cars and use them as unmarked cop cars.
Mustangs, Subarus, a Hellcat, all are or have been used in this county. No Lamborghinis that I'm aware of, but the kind of kid who is going to have a hard time pushing back isn't going to have much more valuable a car than a Mustang or WRX.
Which is why they target kids, not youtubers.
Gee, what do Detroit and every county in Oregon have in common?
If they can do this to rich people imagine how they are screwing everyone else !!!

Oo but it is
In Detroit, apparently the authority to take property apparently requires almost no justification. Good luck with your lawsuit. I hope you can make those individual officers who falsified records pay if you can, not just the city of Detroit. Falsifying records, using their authority for financial gain, damaging private property, defamation, altering legal records, and using police authority for personal, professional or financial gain.
Rico suave, AKA RICO
@Jesse Garcia Detroit operates under its own laws. It is like the law of the jungle.
that's in pretty much every single state and city. civil forfeitures are a thing. they just say they suspect you of a crime and can say you used x property or you're about to commit a crime with x property. In some states they can force you to give them your debit card and they can take all of your money out of your bank claiming you were going to use it to commit a crime... that's just cops. some banks will seize your funds if they suspect you..
can't have shit in detroit
I would file civil suit then bump to RICO AND Prosecute for Obstruction of justice
Man, it's a real mystery as to why people have been flocking out of Detroit for the last 50 years.
If this outrages you, please consider supporting the nonprofit Institute For Justice. They are just about the only law firm fighting civil asset forfeiture abuse.
As an IJ patron, in couldn't agree more . They do all sorts of fantastic work.
This should be on every billboard in Michigan and everywhere else.
More than having an organization of lawyers to battle for the reclamation of seized property, there needs to be lawyers willing to challenge and sue against the legislature, PD in Federal Court. 😣
The law and implementation by the PD are clearly Unconstitutional; Violations of The Fourth Amendment which states explicitly that a warrant is required for search and seizure according to the specifications stated and includes "probable cause". 🤓
There is NO permission to threaten, arrest, search or seize property, persons, belongings, affects based upon potential or association, especially just upon presence which is legal. 😏
We clearly get the basis of the law, which is Authoritative and intends to threaten those that are passive or just present, but not actually participating, but the claim is intended to allow the police of accuse, arrest, etc. those that are passive and not actually in violation of any law. 😑
However, the US Constitution, explicitly, strictly prohibits such invasion of individual rights and include all such legislation, rules, laws, orders, 😒etc. at every level from the Federal, State, County, City through local.
Simple. 🤓
Period. 🤓
Sincerely 😄
@@newtonfirefly3584 I agree 100%. The law needs to be challenged at the highest levels, instead of just on a case by case individual level.
Qualified immunity is another issue that needs to be challenged. I'm not anti-police at all, by the way. But the statute as it stands is clearly not only unconstitutional but illogical. Right now a rogue LEO can violate your rights with impunity so long as they do it in a way that has not been previously adjudicated in another case. I don't really have the vocabulary to convey the problem concisely, so I will use an analogy: suppose a district court has previously ruled that some officer A was in the wrong for entering a citizen's house while in uniform and taking all the cookies from the pantry. Qualified immunity as it is being applied now means that when officer B enters a citizen's house in uniform and takes all the breakfast cereal from the pantry, the precedent from the first case can not be applied. Even though anyone with common sense knows there's fundamentally no difference between taking the cookies and taking the breakfast cereal.
@@ShadowWizard123 yes, am glad You comprehend the illegality and unconstitutionality of the law.
You described the the concept of "qualified immunity" well.
However, from where did You get this legal concept from?
Also, it would not apply to any law or violation of the constitution, clearly.
There does not need to be a precedent, since the law is clear, therefore there can not be any immunity.
This concept must only apply to specific type of laws or cases, but am not yet familiar with it.
Will search about it.

@Jimmy Two Times the old if voting mattered it'd be illegal comes to mind.
@@n.ademak5842 but this was not suspected to have been the proceeds of criminal activity, nor was the criminal activity proven to have happened in detriot, (a matter of venue). The government can take anything they reasonably suspect is ill gotten from illegal activity (cash, property) but they would have a hard time proving this case, in the end, however long it would take. I remember someone had their truck taken for 5 years. He filed a lawsuit and when it was gaining traction they gave him the truck back to have the lawsuit dismissed as "moot". So yeah they can play lots of games but if it's unconstitutional without due process it will eventually be settled through a lawsuit.
Detroit has never shied away from a bit of political corruption.
Detroit is out of money and looking for any reason to make some. That being said, you would think they would be treating visitors better to make them want to come back and spend money there...

They're so stupid. Film and tv studios wanted to film all over Detroit (due to the state of many areas) and the city said they wouldn't give them any tax breaks, so they kept on going to Georgia.
Sounds like theft to me
This is unfortunately also happening in Denmark. Back in 2021 a new law was passed, giving police the right to impound your car, if you do double the speed limit or go over 200 km/h. The worst thing is, they don't necessarily need to have measurement of your exact speed, meaning that they can claim that you have been speeding, streetracing etc. Your car will then get impounded by the police and you will "maybe" get it back.

What an absolutely crazy story. Sounds about right with Detroit police...
Nice to see a fellow Kzoo dude on VinWiki!
This story sounds right up Steve Lehtos alley!
"A few people have sent me this story. Detroit is found to be corrupt again."
I never heard of this page until RUclips recommended it a few minutes ago after I watched a Lehto video. Between cars, Michigan, and asset seizure, it totally sounds Lehto-appropriate.
I thought Steve Lehto it's civil asset forfeiture right in his own backyard.
Was thinking the same thing. Something needs to be done about stuff like this. It's an outrageous abuse of power by law enforcement and a disgrace to the good police out there. Some people need to lose their jobs and ability to be hired as law enforcement for life.
@David Field Ummm, okay and....????
This is the same city that was illegally selling people's homes for a couple thousand dollars of back property taxes. The state Supreme Court eventually forced Detroit to stop, but since they had stolen so many homes and it faced such massive liability, they didn't face any repercussions... Only would if they did so going forward.
You can buy people's homes on tax lien sales if they don't pay property taxes that's not illegal
@@BabyJesus66 correct, but the surplus goes to the homeowner. Detroit was likely keeping all the proceeds, leaving the homeowners with nothing but a mortgage liability.
@@SuperVeeZee and they were also artificially inflating the assessed value of the home to squeeze more tax revenue. On top of that, they were doing it very quickly as opposed to the owner having a bit of time to rectify the situation. Literally stealing houses out from under people.
I fly for an airline with a Detroit base, and some of my coworkers were buying dozens of houses for literally 3-4 grand each, in Romulus, the town that Detroit International Airport is located. Basically they'd buy the house for 4 grandish, then the former owner becomes the renter... In less than 6 months they've recouped the investment in rent and now have a huge asset and the owner has lost everything.

@@BobbyGeneric145 According to another commenter on here in another post, if one cop doesn't "FIX" the entire police department he is as guilty as the rest.

Like you weren't some poor pedestrian who worked his ass off to buy a luxury vehicle -- just to have it repo'd for NO REASON and with NO lawyer or way of getting it back. You had your own RUclips presence as well, which is worth its weight in gold in situations like this. Makes you easy to find, and makes your person and story credible. Makes me very upset to consider what could've happened instead. ACAB
Sounds like the “fees” included the tows for parading the cars to press conferences.
Parading the cars around cannot be legal either, as the police didn’t own the cars yet.
Worse than parading, these cars get sold to mayors and local politicians.
Unfortunately, every word said here is true. I’m afraid to drive in my own neighborhood sometimes because you never know when or where a drifting event might pop up. And it’s more than just the police taking your car you have to worry about.

Look at institution for justice, the innocence project and the real news network of police accountability. That will start you off with a few hundred videos of corruption in our justice system from top to bottom

It isn't legal. But when the cops are corrupt what can you do?
Very concerned about this myself. Civil asset forfeiture may have been a good tool in the war on drugs. However that's questionable seeing as the war on drugs in my opinion is a victimless crime. Meaning that someone who does drugs sufferers from the consequences of their own actions without intervention. (Rabbit whole) This whole what's the movie that I'm thinking of ? Minority Report? Anyway trying to prevent crime before it happens is just wrong. And if someone is getting caught doing something dangerous or stupid on multiple occasions from what I have seen has been inconsistent. I saw where someone the other day was driving under the influence and had had multiple accidents. This individual had been incarcerated and had charges pending and had a fatal accident in the midst of that. Anyway I am thankful for the local drag strip if more of us who enjoy high performance supported tracks and road courses then we could scratch that itch legally where it wouldn't be a problem.
This is literally the most horrific story about rogue officials I have heard in my life. These cops AND their 'chief' belong in court, in front of a judge.
