“Parr’s law firm conducted a study beginning in January 2000 and ending in October 2004. During that time, researchers discovered that $12.8 million was seized, forfeited and distributed to metro agencies, Parr said. OKC police received $6 million, the Oklahoma County DA’s office was awarded almost $4 million and the remainder was split between the Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office and the Central Oklahoma Metropolitan Interdiction Team (COMIT). More than 80 percent of all cash seizures during the study were under $10,000. ‘Almost all were from out-of-state cars. Basically, it’s a shakedown of all out-of-state vehicles,’ Parr said.”
