Times isn't necessarily getting back his $40,000 Land Rover that was seized after a small-time drug deal even though the U.S. Supreme Court used his case to decide the Constitution's ban on excessive fines applies to the states. The Indiana Supreme Court has ruled since Timbs, of Marion, used the vehicle in committing a crime, a county judge must consider whether its seizure is &quot;grossly disproportional&quot; punishment.

IN this Aug. 13, 2018, file photo, Tyson Timbs poses for a portrait at his aunt's home in Marion, Ind. Five years ago, Timbs had his $42,000 Land Rover taken by the government in a process known as &quot;civil asset forfeiture,&quot; after he pled guilty to selling $260 of heroin. Lawyers for Timbs and the State of Indiana will argue whether Eighth Amendment protection from &quot;excessive fines&quot; applies to civil forfeitures at the state level, in front of the U.S. Supreme Court on Nov. 28, 2018.
