How to use "Confiscate" in context?
It might be surprising to know that confiscate has both criminal and noncriminal meanings. The criminal meaning is when the government takes away something (money, drugs, firearms, etc.) that belongs to someone, often as part of a criminal investigation. The noncriminal meaning is when the government takes away something (a vehicle, a piece of property) because its owner has not paid the proper taxes or fees.
