With civil asset forfeiture, they get around the owner by filling a civil suit against the property itself, which of course has no pesky civil rights.

They act like with civil forfeiture that the property doesn’t have an owner… Gotta love that war on drugs. And terrorism… And generally anything which has turned law enforcement into the old fashioned bandit gang out for profit regardless of law and morality.

Gosh, seems kinda harsh considering I’ve never had as much as a stick of gum taken… But seriously, who can say that it actually complies with the 4th? What about innocent until proven guilty?
