Do any agencies that submit forfeiture warrants for narcotics proceeds, (vehicles, moneys etc.) seizures include fi****ms, especially if the offender is a convicted felon? Or do you wait for the outcome of the case/judgement to include forfeiture? Just trying to look for a way to expedite the process of disposal. Thank you. Brian Jones
