§404c–4 Forfeiture of Property Used in Commission of Offenses

Summary

If someone uses guns, traps, nets, fishing gear, teams, horses, or any transport in a park to illegally kill, trap, or catch wild birds, fish, or animals, park officers can seize those items and hold them while the person is charged. If the person is convicted, the items can be kept by the U.S. as an extra penalty. The Secretary of the Interior handles what happens to the seized property. Whether to keep teams, horses, or other transport is decided by the court.
