How is a commercial fishing vessel treated in the personal-use controlled-substance seizure procedure?
- The owner receives a summons in lieu of physical seizure
- The vessel is always held until the criminal case ends
- The vessel is sold within three days
- The procedure does not apply to vessels
Show the answer
A. The owner receives a summons in lieu of physical seizure
In that administrative forfeiture, a commercial fishing vessel is summoned rather than physically seized. An expedited petition also serves as a petition under the ordinary petition rules.
