Asset forfeiture is blatant theft, no matter what the reason. It was originally meant to collect the proceeds of crime from drug cartels and theft rings, but it has been turned against the citizens, and MUST be stopped, no matter the consequences. The abuse of the process has poisoned it beyond any redemption.
Any “conservative” that supports this abuse of process deserves to have their house swatted when they are not home. BTW, the police are NOT responsible for the damage to your home when they raid it, the repairs are your problem. Even if the hit the WRONG house!
Confiscating the vehicles is appropriate in these cases. The vehicle/s are/were used in the commission of the crime and needs to be kept, with chain of custody, for presentation as evidence in any trial that may be held
