Your car may be seized for a Second Offense DUI in Tennessee, and it may be seized upon your arrest.
Although the judge imposing sentence does not seize cars for a DUI, the State of Tennessee can and does seize cars. It is not widely known by the public, but your car can be seized by the State of Tennessee for a second offense DUI.
The Department of Safety is the branch of the Tennessee Government that seizes cars for DUIs, it is not the Judicial Department. Included in the seizure laws is the ability of the State of Tennessee to seize cars for drag racing or fleeing a drag race.
The destinction between the seizure of a car for DUI and drag racing is very important. Upon the charge of DUI Second, your car may be seized, however under the drag racing law your car may only be seized upon the conviction of the offense.
Should you have further questions in regards to a Tennessee DUI, please feel free to phone the office at toll free,
