The way L.A. gets rid of street racers.

IIRC, the law as written does not allow them to sell confiscated items in this case. I'm no fan of the PD, but, this case is the way the legislature wrote the law, they are just applying it.

Yes, I've seen the same thing with confiscated goods, nice stuff ends up being owned by some of the PD that took it. Pretty shady stuff.
