Supreme Court Reviews Pilot Beer Seizure
The Supreme Court agreed to hear an appeal from an Alaskan bush pilot whose plane was seized after authorities found beer on board bound for a dry village. The pilot claims that forfeiting his $95,000 aircraft for a six-pack of beer violated the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition on excessive fines. The case could impact how asset forfeiture laws are applied and may establish limits on government overreach.
