Confiscación de propiedades relacionadas con juegos de azar

Explicación Simple

Si la policía encuentra algo ilegal relacionado con juegos de azar, pueden quitarlo. No puedes vender o mover esa propiedad por 90 días, a menos que la transfieras a alguien que compre la propiedad en una ejecución hipotecaria.
