That's disgusting. FTA: 'Many states, facing fiscal crises, have expanded the reach of their forfeiture statutes, and made it easier for law enforcement to use the revenue however they see fit.' How are they any better than the criminals they're supposed to be protecting us from?

- talmand 12y agoFor the departments that choose to go down that road, they are essentially no different. Except that they have the legal might of the state supporting their actions; including use of deadly force. Allowing forfeiture statutes of this nature likely motivates departments to increase their usage to get more revenues. It is a disgusting practice and can only lead to something bad.
