This month the city of Rockford, Illinois will begin allowing residents to call the police and have any vehicle seized on the mere accusation that the car used a loud stereo system...
The ordinance states that "hearsay evidence shall be admissible" and that property will be seized upon the assertion of probable cause...
...The city may then wait another 45 days to schedule a hearing while storage fees accumulate up to $1100. If the vehicle's owner does not receive the mailed notice or cannot pay the fees within 30 days, the city will confiscate the vehicle permanently.
