    Hey, you might think that this info makes me your lawyer, but it doesn't and I'm not. Sorry, but I AM NOT YOUR LAWYER unless we have an engagement agreement. I am just providing public information here, like a library does, and am not providing you with legal advice about your situation. So, it would be totally unreasonable for you to conclude we have an attorney-client relationship just because you're viewing this information.

    You talked about civil forfeiture, but you didn't answer the question in the title: "Can the police take your house?"
    I remember there being a scenario where an armed criminal was holed up in a family home and law enforcement ended up damaging the property to the extent it was deemed illegal to live in. If you haven't discussed this case already, would you?

      The Supreme Court has ruled a difference between taking and searching. The police with a viable warrant can completely trash your house without having to pay for it. Tho you can potentially argue certain things. For instance if they're looking for something specific that is the size of your head and they destroy something that clearly wouldn't conceal the item of that size it can be argued there were no reason to destroy it. This is supposed to be on docket for review but probably won't change. As for actually seizing the property itself, if the house was used in illegal business they can (dependent on state) seize the house and auction it off to recover costs of the investigation. We have seen this with certain fbi raids if you check Google. They aren't hard to find

    If I'm pulled over and a cop suspects me of DUI, should I get out of the car when asked/ordered?
    Should I refuse field sobriety test?
    Should I take the breathalyzer?
    Isn't losing your license for refusing a breathalyzer a violation of the 4th?
    What's the rationale of your silence not being evidence against you in criminal court, but can be used as evidence against you in civil court? It seems like the way it should be is you should have the right to remain silent in either scenario because the burden of proof is on the accusing party.

      1 Yes if he has suspicion of OUI he can order you out of the car legally
      2 If you're drunk yes, if not then no
      3 Here's the tricky one, most penalties for refusing the breathalyzer are actually worse than an OUI conviction. But if you're drunk you just handed them the best evidence they could ask for... although I did get my breathalyzer thrown out of court, you might not be as lucky.
      4 No as Mike said traveling is constitutionally protected but the mode of transportation is not. You have a right to walk to another state but even then that can be infringed upon by the courts, such as probation and pre-trial release. As you don't have a right to drive, you don't have a right to refuse the limitations and requirements the law demands for you to operate a vehicle on the public roads.
      5 Finally you have protections against criminally compromising yourself. For example (sticking to DWI) if the prosecutor asked how much you spend on booze in a week during the trial you would have to answer as it doesn't prove that you were drunk while you drove. But if he were to ask you how much you spent at the bar before driving home you could refuse to answer that. Now if you get in an accident an hurt someone and they sue you, you again have no such protections as it isn't directly criminal in nature.

      2. I've seen people still get arrested from a field sobriety test when sober because of little reasons like you stuck your leg out or wobbled to much. Idk for sure if you can deny it but I would just ask for a breathalyzer. Less likely that you get screwed. But I have seen a video of some kid getting arrested even after blowing 0.

    Then explain why people are getting away with traveling and not driving. Driving is a privilege not a right traveling is a right not a privilege. State laws do matter but for most states you can travel freely. If you don't believe none of this then go ahead and watch this video and look up and do research numerous other videos and then go down to your magistrate's office the next for the paperwork and then you will see. But if you have a driver's license you definitely have to cancel that through contacting the DMV and your mare. I don't have my driver's license but yet I travel freely wherever I go. No taxes no nothing. Just me my personal vehicle and my tags showing that it's my vehicle because it's a tag that I made up
