And even if they do file charges, they still have to be proper custodians of the money, until such time as all appeals have been exhausted. Make ‘Em wait long enough to get the goods, and make ‘‘em work hard enough to keep them, and then they won’t want to be doing any civil forfeiture unless it’s a really large sum in a slam-dunk case. It’s all a matter of making sure that their interests are aligned with the citizens that they are supposed to be serving.
