LOS ANGELES (CN) A federal judge on Tuesday temporarily barred federal agents from seizing property from people who claim the government’s civil forfeiture of their safe deposit boxes violates their constitutional rights.
In March, FBI agents armed with warrants crowded a Beverly Hills strip mall and seized the contents of hundreds of safe deposit boxes inside U.S. Private Vaults. The commercial facility houses over 800 safe deposit boxes and allows customers to rent them anonymously.
Authorities said after the March 22 raid that a search for weapons, drugs and contraband resulted in the seizure of items now held in an undisclosed location.
