Confiscación y manejo de drogas y evidencia en Arizona

Explicación Simple

Si alguien tiene drogas o cosas relacionadas con drogas, la policía puede quitárselas. También pueden quedarse con el dinero que ganaron de manera ilegal.

Es como cuando un profesor encuentra trampas en un examen; no solo quita las hojas, sino que también puede decir que el estudiante no puede recibir lo que ganó en ese examen.

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que Juan vende marihuana y la policía lo atrapa. No solo le quitan la marihuana, sino que también pueden confiscar el dinero que ganó de sus ventas. Además, si tienen más de diez libras de marihuana, se quedan con una parte para probar que fue un caso real.

Penalidades

Se pueden confiscar bienes y dinero relacionados con delitos de drogas; no se especifican otras penalidades.
