My parents used to have important papers and a few valuable items in a safety deposit box. Then, my dad found out from the bank that the government could seize them, and often did just because no one had been to visit the box in a certain period. (He was in the IBEW and probably had to deal with someone this had happened to.) He closed out the box and brought it all home. This was about 1970.
They’ll seize it now because it’s not in a bank.
Civil forfeiture is just theft.
Yet another stupid law for the war on drugs.
I hate drugs but the spying, theft, and murder by cops of innocents is worse. I could care less if a bunch of junkies die. They’ll take drugs no matter what you do. I shouldn’t give up my freedom to keep a worthless junkie from killing himsdlf.
