DWI cars to be auctioned off

Hopefully, there will be a few cold ones left in them.

HAHAHAHAHA. Hysterical.

Can the drunks buy their cars back for $200?

Cool now I can show off my new interlock to my friends

We'll buy a car and stop for some cold ones. Maybe see the original owner at the bar.

Looks like there will be a basis for the lawsuit now.

How does regular Joe go by one?

I've been to a few of these auctions just to look around. I was amazed how everyone in town who gets caught for DWI and a car seized is apparantly driving a piece of junk?? Where do all the nice cars end up? Something for Larry Barker to check into

I'm sure APD & other agencies get first shot at these seized vehicles for undercover & other safety sensitive operations. Good way to save taxpayers money, but I'm sure some of you will complain.

A nice car for law enforcement or other agencies? I support it. For your act (arrest) of getting law breakers off the streets, here is a nice shinny new Corvette.

Also money talks in the "justice" business. How many high priced cars did Daskalos lose?

Cool! I gonna buy me a police car!!!

Shut if okie from Muscogee. I am sure your laundry is just as dirty as everyone else that lives on this planet. what about the people that are handicapped physically the elderly or even the blind. Suck it. But I am sure the cops and their immediately friends and family do get the first choice. I by the way have a nice 1987 Black corvette and give rides to anyone that may need a place to get to

I plan to wash clothes this weekend. The 3 groups you mentioned usually don't qualify. Whats best is for law enforcement to cruise @ the bars & restaurants and take the plate #s of black corvettes and wait for them to drive home with the hitchikers.

well none all the cars that are there the people that got convicted did not have a high priced lawyer.or a lawyer that is know in the courts so the solution is get caught dwi get a really good lawyer and 90% of the time you won't get convicted people that drive a piece of junk can't afford a good lawyer wow 150 car's 150 convictions 850 dwi dismissed (cops did not show up or da not ready)= very good lawyer or high priced

Mike you are actually correct there, they do take the best ones but not just for undercover, look at some of the police vehicles, vettes, pick up trucks etc. those in many cases came from drug bust as the law allows the department that seized them to take them free and clear meaning the poor person who got busted still has to pay it off.

As for DWI cars, most are junkers, third cars owned by those who know it will be taken when arrested for DWI, most also are not insured or registered in their name and are not worth much more, probably not more then $200.

That was told to me by a neighbor who is a Police Officer for APD.

Most "nice" cars have a lien. The seizure is then a violation of the contract between the lien holder (bank) and the driver (dwi offender). The bank then repossess the vehicle based on the violation of contract.(if you read most auto contracts, it states crimes cannot be committed in the vehicle).

So, most "nice" cars are repossessed by the banks, and the city sees little to nothing from these cars.

That is where most the "nice" cars end up.

You know, your absolutely right, I'm actually supposed to be bright enough to have thought about that

Buying one of these cars is bad juju...

And apparantly they do not maintain a lane well.
