Asset forfeiture - tommag - 06-26-2025
Like many enforcement tools it seemed like a good idea but has been abused. I worried about it when I routinely carried 10k or more in my truck for expenses. One dept, (iirc, Park City Utah) even paid officers a commission based on seizures. The idea of seizing property without a conviction or even charges being filed makes my blood boil.

Legal theft. It's good to be the King. If you can't be the King, it's almost as good t o be the King's men.

IMO, the DEA was the absolute worst. Almost went to work for them. Glad I didn't.
