The American Civil Liberties Union is launching a broad-based constitutional challenge to the ability of prosecutors and police to seize private property without a court order.
In a lawsuit set to be filed today, the organization claims that San Tan Valley resident Rhonda Cox had her rights violated when the Pinal County Attorney’s Office took her truck and sold it.
Attorney Jean-Jacques Cabou acknowledged that her son, Chris, had been arrested in 2013 after deputies determined that a cover on the back of her pickup truck, which he was driving, had been stolen. Based on that, deputies seized the truck.
