There are fines for drunk driving or DWI and they do not include seizure of the car or a monetary fine even close to the value of the car stolen by police here. We have a Supreme Court ruling on this in the Timbs case. The Constitution has a clause protecting against Excessive Fines, and that clause applies to states and municipalities as well. The police and state can't just take whatever they want just because it's related to a crime. https://www.aclu.org/blog/criminal-law-reform/reforming-police/supreme-court-didnt-put-nail-civil-asset-forfeitures https://www.aclu.org/blog/criminal-law-reform/reforming-poli...
