He can’t be right on everything.

Not only is civil forfeiture an abomination that goes against everything the USC stands for but the WOD is the biggest waste of money and manpower since the WOPoverty.

Civil asset forfeiture is just a cash cow for law enforcement. So of course they don’t want to lose their slush fund.

I have no problem at all with forfeiture in certain cases *if* they're preceded by some sort of criminal conviction.Temporary seizure in anticipation of a criminal trial might also be OK.

Otherwise....F**K THAT!

I wrote to Pres. Trump and expressed my view that civil asset forfeiture undermines trust in the law and the Constitution. I recommended forfeiture should only result from a guilty conviction.

Write to President Trump. Let him know how you feel.

Hang on...just read a little further.It would appear that my attitude toward forfeitures is at least partially in sync with the American Communist Lawyers' Union.

I think I'm gonna have to rethink my position....carefully!

the Fourth Amendment is CLEAR, Due Process is supposed to mean just what it states. The policing agencies and their individuals who ignore the Constitution’s Bill of Rights by performing illegal confiscation prior to a court finding one guilty needs to be stopped. A judge is not the Constitution nor did the enforcing officers illegally confiscate personal property from a citizen take an oath to the judge who tells them its okay to ignore their oath of office. The US Constitution; Trump needs to learn it, live it and defend it by ridding the entire legal system of those who don’t.

I can think of one person where I would be all for asset forfeiture: George Soros.

I believe this activity is wrong, but, folks, Trump doesn't even have a cabinet in place, yet.

Everyone is going nuts over wanting everything done the first day in office, it would seem. Lay off of Trump, @-holes!

IF the house and senate would get the really big stuff done then we can talk about the other important things
