I don't want to agree with you. But I'm also reminded of the policy to seize cash without pressing charges. [1] [1] https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/nation

- folkhack 8y agoYep! If you look into civil forfeiture it's a racket... and directly infringes on our rights. Even in cases where there is NO wrongdoing you usually have to go through lengthy processes in order to get your property back, and even then you're considered lucky to get the majority of it back (if at all). Effectively you are guilty until proven innocent with stuff like this on the books. I just find it funny that the same people who yell about "freedom" and "liberty" in this country are the ones who glorify the police as if they can do no wrong.
