The citizens of Sacramento have complained about the nuisance created in their neighborhoods by persons driving vehicles into their neighborhoods in order to acquire or attempt to acquire controlled substances or to solicit acts of prostitution; and B. Persons who operate vehicles and use them to acquire or attempt to acquire controlled substances or to solicit acts of prostitution bring crime and decay into the neighborhoods; and C. The seizure and forfeiture of vehicles used by persons to acquire or attempt to acquire controlled substances or to solicit acts of prostitution will serve to abate the nuisance caused by such activity, in that these persons will be deterred from using a vehicle as an instrumentality of their illegal activity.
