As legal discussions around the potential seizure of Freedom Convoy leader Chris Barber’s truck are set to continue, his lawyer says there is no legal precedent for an item to be forfeited when it has not previously been seized.
“The thing is, this has never happened before,“ Barber’s lawyer Brendan Miller told The Epoch Times in an interview. ”There has never been known [cases] that forfeiture has occurred where the item in issue has not been seized or subject to restraint, because the Criminal Code doesn’t contemplate it.”
