- loeg 3y agoAnywhere other than New Mexico (2015)? That's the only example I can find on the Wikipedia article on the subject.
- klodolph 3y agoYes, other states as well, such as mentioned in the article: > The sheriff’s office has specialized in and perfected the practice, known as civil asset forfeiture, despite a 2016 law meant to ban it in Nebraska. Other laws have either passed, not been passed, or are being written in other states. I’m not going to dig up more citations for a dead thread buried in the HN archives—it is easy enough to find out about these laws being passed. If you can’t find information on Wikipedia, you will have to look elsewhere. I know traditional news sources carry stories about legislation, so I recommend starting there.
