This is not to say, however, that the "broad sweep" of forfeiture statutes remarked in Coin & Currency could not, in other circumstances, give rise to serious constitutional questions. . . . It therefore has been implied that it would be difficult to reject the constitutional claim of an owner whose property subjected to forfeiture had been taken from him without his privity or consent. (citations omitted) Similarly, the same might be said of an owner who proved not only that he was uninvolved in and unaware of the wrongful activity, but also that he had done all that reasonably could be expected to prevent the proscribed use of his property; for, in that circumstance, it would be difficult to conclude that the forfeiture served legitimate purposes and was not unduly oppressive. Id. at 688-90, 94 S. Ct. at 2094-2095.

In both cases the law is reaffirmed to the effect that statutory forfeitures are not unconstitutional because they enmesh the property interests of innocents. . . . But as was further noted in Pearson Yacht Leasing, there are indications that serious constitutional problems could arise where the claimant can prove that he was uninvolved and unaware of the unlawful activity and not guilty of any negligence which permitted it. . . . Here, the uncertainty of the facts to support the petition to mitigate so fogs the equities that we remain unpersuaded by appellant's claim that the Attorney General's action was erroneous.9 Id. at 1236.

"Any vessel, vehicle, or aircraft which has been or is being used in violation of any provision of section 1 ( 78 of this title), or in, upon, or by means of which any violation of section 1 ( 781 of this title) has taken or is taking place, shall be seized and forfeited."

19 U.S.C. 1618 provides for remission or mitigation of forfeiture by the Secretary of the Treasury (in this case, the Attorney General) if he finds the forfeiture "was incurred without willful negligence or without any intention on the part of the petitioner . . . to violate the law, or finds the existence of such mitigating circumstances as to justify" remission or mitigation

The court may have accepted the Government's argument regarding legal ownership, but as discussed infra, the court went beyond the contentions of the parties in holding that the mere fact that Charles was driving the Blazer with Steven's consent made forfeiture proper

The court said in part: "It would make no difference whether he was merely a lessee from Hertz Rent-A-Car or whether he was a conditional sales purchaser or whether he had borrowed the car." Reporter's Transcript 7

The Court continued: "Upon this showing, the Secretary is authorized to return the seized property 'upon such terms and conditions as he deems reasonable and just'. It is not to be presumed that the Secretary will not conscientiously fulfill this trust, and the courts have intervened when the innocent petitioner's protests have gone unheeded." 401 U.S. at 721, 91 S. Ct. at 1045

The Court recognized that "To the extent such forfeiture provisions are applied to lessors, bailors, or secured creditors who are innocent of any wrongdoing, confiscation may have the desirable effect of inducing them to exercise greater care in transferring possession of their property." 416 U.S. at 687-688, 94 S. Ct. at 2094

19 U.S.C. 1615 expressly places this burden upon the claimant in a forfeiture action. The constitutionality of this statute was upheld in United States v. One 1970 Pontiac GTO, 529 F.2d 65 (9 Cir. 1976)

The court concluded that although some of the reasons in the letter denying remission "might be subject to question, the Attorney General through his delegate did accept jurisdiction and authority to conduct an investigation, and made his determinations on the basis of the facts developed. It is well established that under these circumstances the Attorney General's denial of a request for remission is not reviewable." 545 F.2d at 1236

While there is some uncertainty with respect to the extent of the district court's jurisdiction to review an administrative denial of remission, this court held in Simons v. United States, 497 F.2d 1046, 1049 (9 Cir. 1974): "While the Secretary has been given sole power to mitigate the effects of proper forfeiture, he has not been given sole power to determine the propriety of the forfeitures themselves." As noted supra, note 6, the Court in Coin and Currency suggested that the courts would have authority to intervene "when the innocent petitioner's protests have gone unheeded"

Section 5600 of the California Motor Vehicle Code (formerly Section 186) provides that no transfer of the title or any interest in a vehicle registered under the Code shall pass and any attempted transfer shall be ineffective until the transferor has delivered the certificate of ownership to the transferee or has delivered or mailed the transfer documents to the department

Simons v. United States, supra, note 10, involved forfeiture of an automobile used to transport a contraband firearm. Following remand, the pleadings were amended and evidence was produced with respect to claimant's interest in the vehicle on the date it was forfeited. It developed that on the date of seizure, the claimant "had no claim of any interest in the automobile, legal or equitable", and the court held that he could not "enforce against the government his after-acquired rights". Simons v. United States, 541 F.2d 1351, 1352 (9 Cir. 1976). It will be necessary for the district court to determine in this case on the basis of the evidence produced whether appellant was in fact the actual or equitable owner of the vehicle on the date of seizure

This may include a consideration of the adequacy of the remission proceedings under 19 U.S.C. 1618 and applicable regulations as well as the propriety of the forfeiture. See Simons v. United States, 497 F.2d 1046 (9 Cir. 1974) 152ee80cbc
