VEHICLE SEIZURES FROM DWI ARRESTS IN ALBUQUERQUE ARE WAY DOWN FROM WHERE THEY WERE A FEW YEARS AGO. THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL REPORTS, IN THE LAST FISCAL YEAR, APD SEIZED FEWER THAN 800 VEHICLES. THAT COMPARES TO CLOSE TO TWO THOUSAND VEHICLES SEIZED IN 2010.
THE LOWER NUMBER IS DUE TO FEWER DRUNK DRIVING ARRESTS. IT ALSO MEANS LESS INCOME FOR THE CITY THROUGH FINES AND SEIZED VEHICLE SALES.
