In a 4-3 opinion yesterday, the California Supreme Court ruled illegal the city of Stockton's program to seize automobiles from motorists not convicted of any crime. Under the city's ordinance, police could impound the vehicle of anyone accused of using it "to solicit an act of prostitution, or to acquire or attempt to acquire any controlled substance."

wondering your thoughts on this?

Prostitution too??

What if you solicit for a freebie? Is that 'prostitution'?

It looks like the citizens of California want to limit asset forfeitures to felony convictions, not misdemeanors.

Fine by me -- that's their choice.
