A CHANGE IS COMING IN APD’S VEHICLE SEIZURE POLICY. ALBUQUERQUE MAYOR TIM KELLER HAS ISSUED A STATEMENT, SAYING, IN THE FUTURE, POLICE WILL SEIZE VEHICLES ONLY IN CASES WHERE THERE’S BEEN A CONVICTION…A CHANGE FROM THE BERRY ADMINISTRATION.
KELLER SAYS THE NEW POLICY IS IN LINE WITH CHANGES IN STATE LAW AND RECENT COURT RULINGS. KELLER SAYS APD HAS BEEN DIRECTED TO MAKE CHANGE…AND HE’S ASKING THE CITY COUNCIL TO UPDATE THE VEHICLE SEIZURE ORDINANCE THAT’S CURRENTLY ON THE BOOKS.
