Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Utah

How can I fight legal ( the police) thiefs?

April, 26th I was arrested and charged for operation of a clandestine lab. A first degree felony. I was told I was in possession of ephedine, a percurser chemical. My 1981 Ford Bronco was seized at the time of arrest. I spent 77 days in jail and in the end the charges were dismissed and I was released from jail. Because the crime lab results came back negitive. So now that the criminal case was dismissed they are now keeping my Bronco and I have to fight for it through a civil suite. I only have a few days to respone and file an answer to thier suite or I forfiet the vehicle. HOW CAN THEY DO THIS AND WHAT CAN I DO? I can't afford an attoney and I despritly need my vehicle back. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THESE LEGAL THEIFS.

Call Utah Legal Services, they perform legal services at no charge. You may also want to call the ACLU, sometimes they can help.

Whatever you do file an answer before the deadline - you may be able to amend the answer later.
