You and the egg heads can argue about valid records. For me, the claim that civil assets forfeiture is a legal action against the property rather than the owner may sound good to the same bunch of eggheads, but not to anyone with a lick of common sense or respect for the constitution.

I don't agree with civil asset forfeiture, and I don't really understand how anyone ever thought that wasn't a violation of the fifth amendment's prohibition on taking people's property without "due process."

Civil Asset forfeiture should never have been law.

War on drugs was used to justify civil asset theft by the government. Proclaimed to be a vital tool against drug lords, now commonly used against normal citizens. The stats say the government seized more last year than burglars stole... I think WOD is way out of control.
