Re: seizure of property while intoxicated

The statute states the vehicle you were driving must be seized and sold. I have never seen a judge let someone keep a vehicle on a 4th DWI, and I have seen several ask.

The lienholder on the Harley has a limited right to stop the sheriff's sale, but that doesn't really help you.
