Legal Question in Traffic Law in Ohio
Vehicle Confiscation
My son sold car a year ago. Buyer never had title transferred to his name, subsequently got picked up 3 times for DUS. Court ordered car confiscated. BMV info. said car belonged to my son. When son couldn't produce car (buyer still has), court forced him to pay $200 for value of car, + court costs of $60. Wasn't his obligation over when he signed the back of the title and had it notarized? Why should he have to pay the court?

Re: Vehicle Confiscation
Once the owner of a car delivers to the buyer or transferee of it a certificate of title with an assignment on it as is necessary to show title in the buyer or transferee, he has sold the car and is no longer the owner of it. What the court did was not in accordance with the law.
