Two court rulings have limited police seizures in the state of Indiana. U.S. District Chief Judge Jane Magnus-Stinson partially has halted the seizure of vehicles in drug cases and related crimes in the state, saying they’re unconstitutional. The state Court of Appeals has also ruled that an alert from a drug-sniffing dog isn’t enough evidence to seize cash that may be tied to drug trafficking because studies show that up to 90 percent of U.S. currency has drug residue.
