With no conviction I would like to see the state required to return property plus 11% annual interest, taken from the budget of the seizing agency.
When property is seized in Michigan, the owner has to hire a lawyer to file the appropriate motions and beat the deadlines, and then negotiate getting all the property back, or how much the owner gets back along with how much the government gets to keep by them extorting by saying, “ Take this or get nothing,” or go to the expense of a hearing, and if its lost, paying for an appeal.
You could spend as much getting the property back as it is worth. Michigan has the upper hand. Its state sactioned theft since the state is the thief.
