The federal courts also need to end civil asset forfeiture.

As I read this article, I'm lead to understand that confiscation of property has been fine for decades. No courts have ruled otherwise.
But... when Burn Loot Murder activists get their stuff taken - the courts are eager to give it back.

I've been waiting on such a ruling for some time.
NOW, what about all those J6 prisoners being held without trial? And those who have long sentences for a misdemeanor for tresspassing? That is even more egregious.

However, they can still seize property and never arrest anyone.

Cops got a .22 pistol from me 35 years ago in a raid on a new housemate while I was at work.
Cop that confiscated it straight up told me he was the one that inventoried it and he was the only one who get get it out and he wasn't going to.
It was a $50 Jennings but it would be worth more today.
It I ever run into sgt Catipano I will collect on sight. pos

This is the right decision. Admittedly for the wrong reasons, but the right decision.

About effing time. I am sick and tired of the federal government using its enormous power to run rough shot over people. This is one little instance, but it is a big deal that was the DC circuit, because usually the better judges are put in that circuit as a stepping stone to the Supreme Court. I haven’t read or analyzed this opinion, but I sincerely doubt that the statist judges voted for this ruling.

When police confiscate guns for one reason or another and then find out they’re legal, etc., they invariably take their sweet time on returning them as they are required. There are cases where they’ve had to be sued to return them.

Because they do. I still have a couple firearms they wont give back. Legal firearms confiscated on a false search warrant. Told me to take it to court. Cost me more than the firearms were worth. But they were heirlooms, I wonder which of those officer’s collection those went to?
