The seizure law was originally meant for drug dealers when the drug were seized in the car. I have no problem with that. Trying to expand it into other areas is just plain wrong. I live in Mesquite Texas and was astounded when a Mesquite Police car passed in front of me, it was a Lincoln Escalade.
When I caught up with it it had a sign on the back window that read. “This is a drug dealers car, he’s in jail and we’re driving his car.”

one of the major issues I have here is the “civil seizure” aspect and the lack of due process... even if it’s a dealer w/o a conviction they should not seize the property for the Govts. profit ...

Seizure laws corrupt law enforcement everywhere and always and are a PROFOUNDLY bad idea. Cops should get their pay check and that’s all. Allowing them to profit in ANY other way (even something as ‘simple’ as driving a nice car) is asking for tyranny and abuse. And if you ask for it you will certainly get it.
