Sure - I was just saying my problems with the current implementation. I'm not even against civil forfeiture as a premise - merely how it is implemented now, where one needs to prove something that may be impossible.
Imagine if you take $25/week out of your paycheck and put it under your mattress. 10 years later you take that money and go to buy a truck, but you're pulled over and the cops take all of your money.
How exactly can you prove the money is legitimately yours? If the burden of proof was put on the accuser(cops), then they would need to show that you're a drug dealer or something, not just some guy who learned financial habits from a member of the old school of savings.
- chrismcb 4y agoHow can you be for civil forfeiture? What is the argument for it?
