A little context. This is a letter concerning a bill pending in the U.S. House of Representatives which would provide some reforms to how civil asset forfeiture is conducted in the U.S. https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/1525?q=%7B%22search%22%3A%22hr1525%22%7D&s=1&r=1 https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/1525... Unsurprisingly, for law enforcement, any hinderance of their ability to engage in such forfeitures does make their jobs harder (individual rights can add pesky additional hoops to jump through) and, perhaps more importantly, threatens a revenue stream (discussed in the letter as "equitable sharing"... in essence the cut of the take local agencies get from a forfeiture).
