“Civil asset forfeiture became law over 40 years ago as part of the failed and insane ‘War on Drugs.’ But seizures from ACTUAL drug couriers are a small expense for the drug lords. Police also have an incentive to ALLOW drug deals to be made so they can seize more money afterward. That’s because the wealth they steal helps fund their departments and often pays for their bonuses. As a result, cops become carjackers. Police stole a woman’s car because she loaned it to her son, who was carrying a handgun. Police stole $28,500 in church offerings. Police stole FORTY cars in one night at an art gallery event. An outdated Detroit ‘speakeasy’ law was the excuse. Of course, the police also steal houses and other valuables. In Philadelphia, the police steal 100 houses each year.”
