Not sure who sponsored it, but the Comprehensive Crime Control Act of 1984 under which civil forfeiture exploded was signed into law by Ronald Reagan.

The Fourth Amendment seems very clear in its wording: “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects,[a] against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”
This was an unreasonable search and seizure.

The sad thing is that any penalties will be paid by the tax payers and not the scum, thug .gov employees who did this.

The Institute for Justice may be doing this pro bono, but there’s still the hell he had to go through.
