Civil forfeiture was about many things, but part of it really was also INCENTIVIZATION —if the cops could benefit in some material way from a bust, they’d be energized.

Let’s accept that for just a second:

Why do we NOT incentivize things on the NEGATIVE side?

After they terrorize taxpayers, the people who pay for those errors are.....OTHER taxpayers (who pay for the suit).

Why should incentives work just ONE way? If the cops know OTHER people pay for their error, what incentive do they really have to avoid such errors?

This has been going on for years. They need to be bonded, or put personal assets up as collateral, or consent to have their wives beat up in public, nude —SOMETHING.

There are plenty of good cops but bad cops are now having to pay NOTHING for eggregiously bad behavior.

If a person punches a police horse or dog, then legally it’s the same as punching a policeMAN.

Why, then, are “civvy dogs” then treated as LAB RATS?

This “civil incentive” is what should bother us all. It doesn’t end with drug busts.

With private prisons and corporations running law enforcement and photo cameras they will go after the $$$$$ at the expense of justice. Towns like Chevy Chase Village MD pay their fat cat police with super nice facilities and compensation at the expense of the out of town public who regularly gets robbed by their corporate owned 30mph speed cameras in zones with open 4 lane highways, with broad media strips that should be 45mph.

When the profit incentive enters law enforcement we the taxpayers are screwed. Judges in PA were taking kickbacks from private prisons owners to sentence and convict young people for their profit. They got sent to jail but most are not. Google: PA judges private prison.

Especially love this line: “They need to be bonded, or put personal assets up as collateral, or consent to have their wives beat up in public, nude —SOMETHING.”

Damn right!!!
