I’ve got a new Cato at Liberty post pulling together three outrageous forfeiture stories that have been in the news the past few days. Many more cases at our forfeiture tag.

A datapoint
“MADISON, Wis. (AP) — One of the men convicted in the deadly 1970 bombing at the University of Wisconsin-Madison was arrested last week after authorities found $800,000 cash in the motor home he was driving.
A court document says 65-year-old Karl Armstrong was arrested in Chicago. The Wisconsin State Journal (http://bit.ly/K5rOKA) reports Armstrong’s arrest Thursday led to a search on Saturday by the Wisconsin Division of Criminal Investigation of a Town of Madison trailer home where Armstrong lives for evidence of marijuana trafficking.”
