Written by CBKN76

In 2024, Officer Pena was involved in a civil forfeiture case where he seized currency during a traffic stop. Plaintiffs alleged that Pena acted without authority, justification, or probable cause. The court determined that Pena acted within his discretionary authority but did not address the constitutionality of the seizure. The case highlights concerns regarding potential overreach in asset forfeiture practices.
