Asset forfeiture

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.
