good, every state should ban it. It’s just theft.

So now, instead of just having your property stolen, they will work triple time to coerce you into a plea deal by piling on murder charges to jaywalking, or do everything in their power to get you to confess, bring out the bright lights and rubber hoses. I’m not sure this is an improvement.

Great. Now how about Constitutional protections for people of faith?
To: who knows what evil?
The new law makes a hell of a lot more sense. Why should someone have their assets taken if they are not found guilty?

Why was this signed “just before noon”?
Odd & risky way of drawing attention to the signing...

The country was founded on religious freedom and yet when it comes to the homosexuals there is no religious freedom.

Can the ferderales still seize it and then share with the New Mexico city and state police, or do those funds have to go to the state general fund? I doubt whether the state law would eliminate the federales' power in nabbing goodies they want.

Why was this signed just before noon?Because if she didn't sign it by then, it would be vetoed automatically.

I’d like to see more of Susana Martinez in the presidential race. I go to NM fairly often, so I know it’s a difficult balance there. Lots of NE raving liberal retirees, lots of dysfunctional people (Indian reservations, thank you Federal Government) who seem to have found their source of income in the casinos, Indians with heroin problems, rural whites making meth in a less glamorous Breaking Bad scenario...in other words, it’s a complicated place.
But she seems to be doing a pretty good job, although she has some positions with which I disagree. But, like Reagan, she might become more conservative if she runs for national office.

This is an improvement, but the title is misleading.

Good. I don’t care for criminals, but the asset grab never seemed right
To: IYAS9YAS; logi_cal869
If I’m understanding logi-cal869, (s)he is asking why the Gov. didn’t sign it earlier. I’m curious about that, also.

Under the new law, police can still take property from you for a short period, but would need a conviction or a guilty plea in order to keep it.Geeze. I think this law should go even further. Shouldn't someone be found guilty FIRST , BEFORE they steal all their stuff and screw up their life?

Thanks for that. You are correct. (as is ‘masculine’, to clarify)
