Re: Confiscation of Goods in Pawnshops
Dear Lt. O'Bannon:
Attorney General Mike Moore has received your request for an
official opinion from this office and has assigned it to me for
research and reply. In your letter you state:
Please consider this letter a request for an opinion
from your office on SENATE BILL NO.2347, regarding the
regulation and licensing of pawnshops within the State
of Mississippi.   Having read the law, questions have
arisen pertaining to Section 15, (1) No pledged or
purchased goods can be confiscated without specifically
accomplishing the following actions:     (a) A police
report being made ina timely manner; (b) A warrant
sworn out for the person who pledged or sold the goods
to the pawnbroker; and (c) A theft report, or a
National   Crime  Information  Center  (NCIC) report,
identifying the merchandise to be confiscated along
with a request for restitution, pursuant to law.
My question is: Do all three (3) actions have to be
accomplished before an item is confiscated; or can an
item be confiscated after the completion of one (1)
action?
