General Discussion

... has everyone forgotten that Civil Asset Forfeiture is a real thing? It is also a blatant violation of the 4th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Law enforcement has NO right to confiscate personal property with no warrant ever being sought, or charges ever being brought, and absent any conviction of a crime. And then they refuse to return it without prohibitively costly "legal" procedures that often exceed the value of the property that was seized. The police forces usually turn stolen property into cash, and make no mistake, it IS stolen property.
Civil Asset Forfeiture has no right to exist; it is irrefutably unconstitutional.
