Just the cost of doing business? Hundreds of B.C. criminals hit with repeat civil forfeiture lawsuits

On an unseasonably hot September day in 2023, a Surrey police officer spotted Daniel Cluett on an electric standup scooter, helmetless and allegedly riding into oncoming traffic.

RCMP officers caught up with him outside the Lookout Shelter on 135A Avenue, where they alleged he was hanging with “other individuals in front of a No Loitering sign.”

They ran his name in a police database and learned that “he was the suspect in a file from the night before where a firearm was pointed at an individual and had extensive drug and weapon possession files.”
