I see a lot of commenters pointing out that this includes legitimate forfeiture due to criminal activity.
That is certainly true. But how do you measure legitimate vs illegitimate taking of property?
With burglary, it is fairly trivial. But otherwise? I'm not aware of statistics breaking down the amount of money and assets that get taken without any charges.
- 1letterunixname 3y agoI seriously doubt the police ever publish stats on seized property they were forced to return because no crime was committed. Most of the time, the people who are robbed by the police can't afford or don't know how to get their property back. https://archive.is/o7xdQ https://archive.is/o7xdQ
