Re: can the police keep my car
The state would have to prove that the car was being used as part of a drug transaction or financed at least in part through drug money. If your friend was using it to obtain drugs, or in some fashion related to drugs, you could have a problem, though once formal forfeiture has started, there is a wasy to claim ignorance as a defense.
