Cameron Rowland's Baby Trend Range Jogging Stroller, 2018 Baby Trend Range Jogging Stroller sold for $13.50 18 × 27 × 43 inches (45.72 × 68.58 × 109.22 cm) Rental at cost In the United States, property seized by the police is sold at police auction. Auction proceeds are used to fund the police. Civil asset forfeiture originated in the English Navigation Act of 1660.[1] The Navigation Acts were established to maintain the English monopoly on the triangular trade between England, West Africa, and the English colonies.[2] As Eric Williams writes, “Negroes, the most important export of Africa, and sugar, the most important export of the West Indies, were the principal commodities enumerated by the Navigation Laws.”[3] During the seventeenth century, the auction was standardized as a primary component of the triangle trade to sell slaves, goods produced by slaves, and eventually luxury goods. The auction remains widely used as a means to efficiently distribute goods for the best price.[4] Police, ICE, and CBP may retain from 80% to 100% of the revenue generated from the auction of seized property.
