  1. Zarcadoolas v. Tony

    No. 4D21-2227 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. Jan. 4, 2023)
    To justify the continued seizure of Zarcadoolas's property, BSO had the burden of establishing probable cause to believe that the property was used in violation of the Forfeiture Act. See §§ 932.701(2)(f), .703(3)(a), (3)(c), Fla. Stat. (2020); Velez, 934 So.2d at 1164; City of Coral Springs, 803 So.2d at 850. BSO sought to meet this burden by showing that the property was "contraband" under section 932.701(2)(a)2. or section 932.701(2)(a)5. See § 932.702(2), Fla. Stat. (2020) (possession of any "contraband article" is a violation of the Forfeiture Act). Under those provisions, BSO needed to show that the property was used "in violation of the gambling laws of the state" or "as an instrumentality in the commission of, or in aiding or abetting in the commission of, any felony." § 932.701(2)(a)2., (2)(a)5., Fla. Stat. (2020).

  2. State v. Forfeiture of $133,888.00 in U.S. Currency

    327 So. 3d 472 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2021)
    A trial court's order determining whether the facts presented are "legally sufficient to support a finding of probable cause pursuant to the Florida Contraband Forfeiture Act ... is reviewed de novo." Miami-Dade Cnty. v. Forfeiture of $26,474.00 in U.S. Currency, 172 So. 3d 455, 457 (Fla. 3d DCA 2015). Under the Florida Contraband Forfeiture Act, section 932.701, Florida Statutes, probable cause is established where the State can show that under "the totality of the facts presented ... [it had] probable cause to believe that a nexus exists between the article seized and the narcotics activity, whether or not the use of the contraband article can be traced to a specific narcotics transaction." § 932.701( 2)(a) 1., Fla. Stat. The State must show, "the information relied upon ... is adequate and sufficiently reliable to warrant the belief by a reasonable person that a violation had occurred." Lobo v. Metro-Dade Police Dep't, 505 So. 2d 621, 623 (Fla. 3d DCA 1987) ; Dep't of Highway Safety & Motor Vehicles v. Frey, 965 So. 2d 199, 200–01 (Fla. 5th DCA 2007). The State's reasonable belief must be "more than mere suspicion, but it can be created by less than prima…

  3. Griffin v. City of Sweetwater Police Dep't

    319 So. 3d 89 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2021)   Cited 1 times
    Victor R. Griffin, appearing pro se in both the trial court and as appellant here, filed a complaint in county court, seeking recovery of monies seized by appellee under the Florida Contraband Forfeiture Act. See Fla. Stat. §§ 932.701 - 932.7062. Appellant alleged a wide array of bases for recovery, and appellee sought dismissal of the complaint, amended complaint, and second amended complaint. The trial court granted each motion to dismiss, in whole or in part, and finally granted a dismissal of the second amended complaint in its entirety and with prejudice. Appellant timely appeals the trial court's order of dismissal with prejudice.

  4. Llauro v. Tony

    470 F. Supp. 3d 1300 (S.D. Fla. 2020)   Cited 4 times
    Finally, the Court does not credit Plaintiffs’ allegation that the Detectives had "no basis" for stating in the seizure affidavit that there was probable cause to believe that the funds in the Individual Plaintiffs’ personal accounts were contraband. In addition to the arrest affidavits’ allegations of the arrestees’ alleged criminal activity, the Detectives further assert in the seizure affidavit that Capri disbursed over $2.7 million from the Main Account to secondary bank accounts held by the Llauro husbands and wives. The Detectives categorize these amounts as contraband based on the definition provided by Florida law: "[a]ny personal property, including, but not limited to, ... money ... which was used or was attempted to be used as an instrumentality in the commission of, or in aiding or abetting in the commission of, any felony, whether or not comprising an element of the felony, or which is acquired by proceeds obtained as a result of a violation of the Florida Contraband Forfeiture Act." Fla. Stat. § 932.701( 2)(a)(5). Again, Plaintiffs do not claim that any specific statement in the 53-page seizure affidavit, which establishes probable cause, is false. Because…

  5. Medero-Garcia v. Darnell

    286 So. 3d 947 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2019)
    AFFIRMED . See Hudson v. City of Sunrise , 237 So. 3d 1031, 1034-35 (4th DCA 2018) (alleged claimants must prove bona fide ownership of seized property in order to have standing in a forfeiture proceeding, citing §§ 932.701(2)(g)-(h) and 932.704, Fla. Stat.); Velez v. Miami–Dade Cty. Police Dep't , 934 So. 2d 1162, 1166 (Fla. 2006) (recognizing that persons contesting a forfeiture must demonstrate a proprietary interest in the seized property that is subject to forfeiture).

  6. Tejada v. Forfeiture of 2015 Cadillac Escalade

    267 So. 3d 1032 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2019)
    The statute further provides "[a]ny motor vehicle used in violation of this section shall constitute contraband which may be seized by a law enforcement agency and shall be subject to forfeiture proceedings pursuant to ss. 932.701 - 932.704." § 319.33(6), Fla. Stat. Even if it could be said that the vehicle did not automatically fall under section 932.701's definition of contraband, it fits within the definition under section 319.33.

  7. Monestime v. Florida

    No. 17-14748 (11th Cir. Jul. 18, 2018)
    On August 4, 2017, Monestime filed his present "Writ of Habeas Corpus" petition, which the magistrate judge and the district court construed as a § 2254 petition. Monestime's § 2254 petition challenges the seizure of the $738,000 from the black duffle bag under the due process clause of the Florida Constitution and the Florida Contraband Forfeiture Act. See Fla. Stat. § 932.701. This Act provides for the seizure of any property used, attempted to be used, or intended to be used in connection with illegal narcotics activities. Id. §§ 932.701(2)(a)(1), 932.703(1)(a). The Act requires that the seizing agency must apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for a determination of whether probable cause existed for the seizure and that the victim of the seizure receive notice. Id. § 932.703(2)(a), (3)(a). Monestime claimed that he did not receive a hearing to determine whether the $738,000 was in fact contraband and that he did not receive written notice of its seizure. Monestime's current § 2254 petition does not purport to challenge the seizure of the $738,000 under federal law.

  8. Hudson v. City of Sunrise

    237 So. 3d 1031 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2018)   Cited 2 times
    The first stage is an adversarial preliminary hearing in which the seizing agency is required to establish probable cause that the property subject to forfeiture was used in violation of the Forfeiture Act. § 932.701( 2)(f), Fla. Stat. The Forfeiture Act provides that when personal property is seized, any "person entitled to notice" should receive notice of the right to a preliminary hearing within five days after the seizure and may make a request within fifteen days after receiving notice that the hearing be held. § 932.703(2)(a), Fla. Stat. The Act defines "person entitled to notice" as "any owner, entity, bona fide lienholder, or person in possession of the property subject to forfeiture when seized, who is known to the seizing agency after a diligent search and inquiry." § 932.701( 2)(e), Fla. Stat. The second stage is a forfeiture proceeding "in which the court or jury determines whether the subject property shall be forfeited." § 932.701( 2)(g), Fla. Stat. At the forfeiture proceeding, the court "shall" order the seized property forfeited to the seizing agency "[u]pon clear and convincing evidence that the contraband article was being used in…

  9. Brevard Cnty. Sheriff's Office v. Brown

    208 So. 3d 1281 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 2017)
    § 932.701(2)(a) 1., Fla. Stat. (2015). Methamphetamine is a controlled substance. See § 893.03(2)(c)4., Fla. Stat. (2015). A pipe containing it is paraphernalia. See § 893.145(12), Fla. Stat. (2015). Both are contraband articles under the FCFA. See § 932.701(2)(a), Fla. Stat. (2015). Because possession of methamphetamine is a felony, any motor vehicle containing the drug is subject to forfeiture. See § 932.703(4), Fla. Stat. (2015).

    In any incident in which possession of any contraband article defined in s. 932.701(2)(a) constitutes a felony, the ... motor vehicle ... in or on which such contraband article is located at the time of seizure shall be contraband subject to forfeiture.
