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

In Missouri, the legislature passed a law that said all the asset forfeiture money would go to the schools. The JD and the DEA worked with local law enforcement agencies to subvert MO state law by arranging for the feds to take credit for the drug busts, and take control of the seized assets. Then they could "share" it with the local LEO agencies.
