| An appeal from Circuit Court for Okaloosa County. G. Robert Barron, Judge. The Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (the department) challenges an order entered in an action under the Florida Contraband Forfeiture Act, sections 932.701-932.707, Florida Statutes (1999) (the Act), by which the department sought the forfeiture of an automobile owned by the appellee. Following an adversarial preliminary hearing, the trial court ruled in the order under review that the forfeiture action could not proceed because the department had not established probable cause to believe that the property had been used in violation of the Act. We affirm. |
