16 U.S.C. § 204d — Forfeiture of property used for unlawful purposes

submitted 98 years ago by ch. 438 to r/title-16-CONSERVATION · 138 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Guns, traps, and vehicles used for illegal hunting in the park can be seized. They are forfeited to the United States if the hunter is convicted. The Secretary of the Interior decides what happens to seized property.

All guns, traps, teams, horses, or any other means of transportation are subject to forfeiture if someone uses them inside the park to kill, trap, snare, or capture wild animals or birds illegally. Park officers can seize this property and hold onto it while the person is being prosecuted for violating this Act. If that person is convicted, the forfeiture becomes an extra penalty — on top of whatever other punishment the law prescribes. The Secretary of the Interior controls how forfeited property gets disposed of and accounted for.
