Well, at least there's this tidbit: The actual process of forfeiture can only take place after a person is convicted of the crime alleged in the forfeiture.

But Holy Cow, look at that list of "bad ass criminal gang" vehicles! My god, it looks like Road Warrior -- a 2004 Mazda!! A 1999 GMC pickup! A 2002 Ford F-250! A 2009 Toyota!

What we are witnessing in America right now is a choreographed thing -- lots of racial tension and "transgender" dementia fomented and nourished by MSM sensationalism to distract from serious things going down, such as this blatant contempt on the part of probable FED militarized "law enforcement" to seize property of the largest single demographic in America, Harley riders who belong to mom-and-pop clubs and/or who ride independently, most likely to openly resist tyranny. So devices such as this are used to ruin their lives, careers, and finances even if they ARE FOUND INNOCENT after it all comes out.

I am very sad and sorry to say that this Waco thing, supported and swallowed by so-called "conservatives" (who live in fear of being called "conspiracy theorists") in too great a number on FR, of all places, indicates the "official" beginning of the end of America. And people are being distracted by having racial hatreds fomented and focusing on that instead. It is CHOREOGRAPHED.

Unfortunately, far too many people think that the onus of merely being arrested won't hurt you if you are indeed innocent. Not so. The mere attorney's fees can drive you into bankruptcy, not to mention loss of income, loss of vehicle (which can lead to loss of job, if your being arrested isn't enough to get you let go), not to mention the stress of having to be found innocent--my chief beef, that the presumption of innocence has been replaced by the rush to the hanging instead.

That lynch mob mentality (so easily manipulated) will be the undoing of America, most likely, and will make it so much easier for the Dems to foment the race war or any other open conflict they want.

People don't take the time to realize the rioters/looters represented less than 1% of Baltimore's population and rush to condemn all urban blacks, and blacks in general over incidents like Baltimore or Fergusson.

Any voices of reason (from either side) are muted by the media coverage of the most radical and shrill.

So, here we see entire demographics presented as the media has desired for decades (independent of reality), demonized and Alinsky'd, and served up for your entertainment.

And if the media get it wrong, they just slide it quietly out of the news cycle, shout "Squirrel!" and are off to the next big thing, leaving the wreckage of people and families, neighborhoods, and businesses in their wake.

You don't have to actually lose a vehicle to be denied the use of it, and if that use is integral to your business, work, or employment, you are going to hurt.

The present meme is that the police should be given Carte Blanche to do whatever, that dangerous mobs and 'gangs' are roaming the streets at will, and that you should surrender your arms to be safe, and give the police unbridled power and lots of military style toys to use with it.

Between that and fomenting hatred across any available social boundary, the stage is being set for martial law before the current crop of politicians are voted out.

The worst enemies of the Republic aren't wearing uniforms, leather jackets, gang colors, or even badges.

They are wearing press passes, hauling cameras or microphones, or worse yet, behind the scenes deciding who and what goes on the air to give what opinion to the frustrated masses who would love to vent their collective aggravation on a target...any target.

It is a powder keg, and being made worse by the media daily.
