Civil asset forfeiture is one of the worst things we do, and the fact that most people don’t know or care about it is an indictment of our society. We can never resume being free until this is done away with.

How did these laws ever pass constitutional muster!? Someone would see the end of a barrel of a my gun seizing my belongings with no criminal charges brought forth.

There is a place for civil asset forfeiture in the law enforcement tool box but as it is implemented these days begs for reform. IMHO any CAF action should be approved by a judge before taken or if the action had to be invoked because of extenuating circumstances (target is fleeing), at least reviewed by a judge promptly after the fact.

Agree, and if the judge so orders, the asset should be returned.

I think it’s pretty clear what was going on in this instance.
