This is not unusual. I can't put my hands on the article at the moment, but there are prosecutors offices and police departments funded entirely by civil forfeiture.
- Etheryte 3y agoThis is unusual outside of the states, because most people understand that this creates bad incentives.
- Simulacra 3y agoYou're absolutely right, it is routine in America. Civil forfeiture needs to go.
