The settlement would establish new rules to govern the civil forfeiture program moving forward, and to prevent cases like the 2014 example involving Christos Sourovelis. That year, police kicked the Greek immigrant and his wife out of their Somerton home and signaled their plans to seize it after the Sourovelises' son was arrested for selling $40 worth of drugs outside. The forfeiture action against the Sourovelis house was eventually dropped; the family was able to return after a few weeks but still had to endure a legal battle to keep their home.
