Summary
The Supreme Court will hear a case over whether Alaska imposed an unconstitutional excessive fine by seizing a man’s plane after he errantly transported a six-pack of beer to a town that outlaws alcohol. The high court said on Monday that it would take up arguments in Jouppi v. WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court agreed Monday to review an Alaska bush pilot’s claims that state authorities have tried to illegally seize his $95,000 airplane after a passenger brought a six-pack of beer on a flight bound for a dry village.
Furthermore, Alaska’s attorneys said Jouppi hasn’t shown how punishing him with forfeiture of his plane is “grossly disproportional to the gravity of his offense.” “Alcohol abuse is a serious problem in rural Alaska, and airplanes are sometimes the only realistic means to commit the crime of alcohol importation,” they wrote.
