    Fair, I agree also. I just wasn’t done venting my outrage yet. 😁

    Not that I hadn’t heard about civil asset forfeiture before, I also didn’t recognize that it was so blatantly, openly abused.

      Oh my god, yes. It’s fucking awful. Even worse, it tends to target non-white people, because they’re less likely to have traditional bank accounts and be able to move money electronically. It’s literally life savings for some of the people getting hit, and they’re getting pulled over on absolute nonsense bullshit.
