Hawaiian Paradise Park Neighborhood Watch

[Bob Orts]

The majority of money used to pay for "bait" and "sting" operations comes directly from the criminals themselves. OCCA gave each State the authority to make criminals pay for current and future operations designed to catch more criminals in the act of committing a crime. Hawaii was one of the States to enact simplified asset forfeiture laws to make it easy for the criminal justice system to take away the tools and profits of crime, and use them or sell them to pay for more operations against criminals. You can read the current law in HRS 712A.

Good luck.
