I'm pretty sure I heard about it here on HN... Basically civil asset forfeiture has been so bad that they're revising the bills.
Things got so fucked up that there are police departments that were stealing people's wealth using civil asset forfeiture to then buy military vehicles.
It went too far and everybody agrees on that and I think congress did / is going to do something about it. TFA is from 2015, here's a bill from 2023:
https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/1525 https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/1525
Not sure where it's at but at least there's some hope.
