A UNANIMOUS VOTE FROM THE BERNALILLO COUNTY COMMISSION TUESDAY … WHICH COULD MEAN REPEAT DRAG RACERS COULD LOSE THEIR VEHICLES. THE ALBUQUERQUE JOURNAL REPORTS THE ORDINANCE SPONSORED BY COMMISSIONER LONNIE TALBERT WOULD LET SHERIFF’S DEPUTIES SEIZE THE VEHICLES OF PEOPLE ARRESTED FOR RECKLESS DRIVING IF THEY’VE BEEN ARRESTED PREVIOUSLY FOR THE SAME OFFENSE.
THE PROPOSAL CALLS FOR A HEARING WITH THE VEHICLE OWNER DURING WHICH IT WOULD BE DECIDED IF THE CAR OR TRUCK SHOULD BE TAKEN.
TALBERT SAYS THESE ARE PEOPLE WHO USE THEIR VEHICLE AS A WEAPON.
