No civil asset forfeiture: cop pulls a drug dealer over, the drug dealer bribes the cop and is on his way.
With civil asset forfeiture: cop pulls a drug dealer over, the drug dealer offers to bribe the cop, the cop laughs and takes all his stuff anyway, books him, and the police department buys a martini machine.
Kind of a weak case, but that was the best steelman I could think of.
- gus_massa 4y agoIt sounds like a good idea until a cop acuse you of been a drug dealer without evidence, take all your money, and then you realize why you need a constitution and a independent court system.
- lupire 4y agoWhy would a cop give the money to the department instead of keeping it as a bribe for himself?
