Now you know why civil forfiture will only get worse and worse. No one cares or even understands what it means. The vast majority believe you must be convicted or as least charged with a crime.

I've talked to people in europe and asia who simply refuse to believe me when I've talked about it. They can't comprehend that the government can simply seize your property without proving anything.

But your property is.

Really an extension of anti drug laws.

This is quite common in Mexico as extortion. But WTF, in the US?

I get that this problem has been escalating since. As the cop stated in the video "pennies from heaven" to buy things like margarita machines and zambonis.

This is crazy stuff! Didn't know cops had that much power.

You're a contractor, carrying $1000 in cash for the deposit on some work, drive over to the Lumber Store to buy some supplies, get pulled over by a cop.

Cop looks over in the passenger seat, sees a manilla envelope - and it's overtime, time!

City loves not raising taxes! And you gotta fight in court (it's gonna cost more than $1k) to get it back.
