The Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments on Monday in a pair of cases asking if two innocent property owners have due process rights to a prompt hearing after police seized their vehicles.
"I know the pain firsthand," said Stephanie Wilson, a Detroit nursing student who had her vehicle seized after a traffic stop in 2019."While my car sat in an impound lot, I could not drive my son to school or take him to medical appointments. I could not get myself to classes at Wayne County Community College, where I was studying nursing."
The question before the nine justices is which test district courts should apply when determining if someone's 14th Amendment right to due process was violated or was deprived of a prompt hearing. In a rejection of their claims in a July ruling last year, the 11th Circuit held that Alabama's civil forfeiture process satisfied the requirements for a timely hearing under the speedy trial test. But opposing rulings such as Wilson's case out of the 6th Circuit will have the justices examine which test aligns with their collective jurisprudence.
