A pretty sentence, but since the courts have upheld both qualified immunity and civil asset forfeiture, it appears the people have granted the power to do so.

- mulmen 3y agoOk but by what principle? We can change the law.
- brewdad 3y agoAye, there's the rub. No politician wants to be portrayed as "soft on crime". Until the problem becomes too large for the average person to ignore, the law isn't going to change. A smart police force stays just below that threshold.
- wahnfrieden 3y agoYou think you can change this by voting? Both sides support civil forfeiture
- mulmen 3y agoThe people elect representatives who make law on their behalf. So what legal principle needs to be legislated?
