Seizure of Assets in Utah Drug Cases

In many cases involving drug trafficking and distribution, law enforcement officers will seize assets that they say were gained with “drug money” or were used in the commission of a crime. They can legally take cars, money and other assets, often without any proof that the asset was gained from or used in criminal activity.
