It may be aimed at rioters and protesters today, but it will, eventually, down the road, be used to seize assets of people at unapproved religious gatherings. It will be used to seize assets of "unapproved" study groups.
This is the kind of government we don't want.
Rioting isn't OK, creating this kind of government power in response is worse.
- justin66 6y ago> It may be aimed at rioters and protesters today It’s aimed at people who happen to be near a disturbance. Just keep in mind, with civil asset forfeiture, they don’t have to prove you did something before they take your stuff. Due process comes after they’ve taken your property, and since it’s a civil proceeding, you get to pay for a lawyer if you want your stuff back. Police know that a lot of people won’t have that option, or will find that it’s not worth the expense.
