First result on google for civil forfeiture. Followed up by searching for [law enforcement agency] and union returns zero results for the worst locations.
Police officers are unionized pretty much everywhere. Sheriffs, which carry out the most egregious civil asset forfeitures (usually in small travel-through towns), generally are not unionized outside of the big counties and states.
- unethical_ban 6y agoYour argument doesn't rebut mine. Mine: Unions have a direct, negative influence on the ability for departments/cities to fire bad cops. Yours: There is correlation, but not causation, between non-unionized police departments and instances of civil asset forfeiture.
- gamblor956 6y agoYou're the one making the causal claim that unions are responsible for this. You need to prove your claim; I've already provided evidence that would refute the argument you would make.
