If a Claim Opposing Forfeiture is timely filed and served, however, the prosecuting agency must file a petition for judicial forfeiture within 30 days after receipt of the claim. Otherwise, the prosecuting agency loses the right to maintain custody of the seized property. Vehicle forfeiture can occur when a car is used to commit a criminal act—which includes driving while intoxicated (DWI) offenses.
