Olson<\/a>, 164 Wn. App. 187, 262 P.3d 828 (2011), surveying the law nationwide:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u00b68 A great number of states have statutes equivalent to Washington&#8217;s that permit a parole board or parole officer to issue an arrest warrant due to an offender&#8217;s parole violation. And courts throughout the country have routinely upheld the constitutionality of statutes that do not require an arrest warrant to be issued under oath or affirmation and by a neutral magistrate.

Yet, he loses the forfeiture because he can\u2019t prove the money was his. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.courts.wa.gov\/opinions\/index.cfm?fa=opinions.showOpinion&amp;filename=288871MAJ\">City of Walla Walla v. $401,333.44<\/a>, 164 Wn.
