Police suspect that Michael Garcia used his car in April to run interference for a drug dealer who was later caught transporting 10 pounds of marijuana... He wasn't arrested, but six days later the 30-year-old landscaper received a letter from the state Department of Revenue demanding that he pay $17,592 in taxes he owed for his role in drug trafficking.

He figured it was a mistake or maybe a joke. "The revenue guys showed up with the bulletproof vests and the guns and stuff, and that's when I knew it was for real," Garcia said...

Some defense attorneys say the new law is quickly becoming an example of government running amok, with innocent residents who have not been convicted of crimes, or even charged, being bullied into paying thousands of dollars in taxes.
