Colorado Contraband Forfeiture Act
Colorado · Criminal Proceedings · §§ 16-13-1001 to 16-13-906 · 42 sections
Overview
This act addresses property connected to criminal activity, defining several classes of public nuisance and identifying the contraband articles, vehicles, buildings and their fixtures and contents, and other personal property that may be seized and forfeited. It establishes the procedure for doing so — jurisdiction, temporary restraining orders and injunctions with penalties for their violation, seizure, forfeiture proceedings leading to a judgment or final order, an evidentiary presumption, and safeguards including protection of prior liens and redelivery of seized premises. It further governs the aftermath: how forfeited real and personal property and contraband are disposed of, how proceeds are placed in and accounted for through a designated account, and what limits and reporting obligations attach to property or payments received through federal forfeiture programs.
