Asset forfeiture is one reason why cops are the biggest drug war whores. President George H W Bush, March 05, 1991 =>

Asset forfeiture laws allow us to take the ill-gotten gains of drug kingpins and use them to put more cops on the streets and more prosecutors in court.

In the last 5 years alone, the Justice Department shared over half a billion dollars in forfeited assets with State and local law enforcement.

Blame the cops all you want, I blame the politicians and the laws they create that allows, even compels cops to do it. They don't have a lot of choice in following the law.
