Sure is convenient (for the cops, that is). Steal $88,000.00, then get them indicted... Whether or not they were actually drug dealers the timing is just too convenient. So-called "asset forfeiture" is an abomination. If the government MUST steal someone's stuff, at least convict that person of an ACTUAL crime FIRST.

Nothing new here folks. -- Governments have been prohibiting 'evil objects' since biblical times, -- they then use the decree as an excuse to search & seize any asset even remotely connected to the 'contraband'..

Statists/communitarian's defend the practice as a needed exercise in socialistic morality.
Rational men see it as a forerunner to revolution.

Powerful arguments against 'majority rule' and a power to prohibit.
