I’ve been to Singapore twice for a total of 3 weeks. You can get anything you want in the alleys of Geylang.
EricJ Posted yesterday at 12:15 AM Report Posted yesterday at 12:15 AM Seems consistent with typical civil forfeiture over the last forty years or so. i.e., bad.

N201MKTurbo Posted yesterday at 02:07 AM Report Posted yesterday at 02:07 AM It’s like getting a parking ticket, and they confiscate your car because you used it to commit the crime.
Paul Thomas Posted yesterday at 02:16 AM Report Posted yesterday at 02:16 AM I've never seen something impounded over a misdemeanor. Most forfeitures I've seen in Florida have been for drug trafficking or RICO.

Many civil forfeiture cases were seizing cash merely because somebody possessed it. The assumption seemed to be nobody would carry more than $10k in cash unless it a criminal activity. My understanding is that in this case there were multiple cases of beer but the pilot said he was only aware of the six pack. There's still a lot of momentum from those old "zero tolerance" policies.
M20F Posted 13 minutes ago Report Posted 13 minutes ago What is interesting to me is he never smuggled the beer. They were watching for planes smuggling booze in Fairbanks which is where they executed the search warrant. I can’t determine how they got the warrant. In any case putting on cases of beer with maybe the intent to fly them to a dry county isn’t a crime. Whole thing seems fishy but can’t determine more on the internet but there has to be more.
