Yes, but you see, the legislators need the police to protect them from the unwashed masses. But the legislators don’t want to have to pay the police themselves, so how do they compensate the police for the extra protection? By leaving asset forfeiture in place; Legislators don’t have to do anything, and get benefit from it. Police only have to claim your property is guilty of being involved in a crime, and boom, it’s theirs now.
It doesn’t really. The ruling is blatantly contradictory to both the spirit and the word of the Bill of Rights. Under the US Constitution, it’s an invalid ruling. The problem needs to be attacked by removing judges that brazenly undermine the US Constitution.
Ughhh. I’m not surprised. This problem needs to be attacked with legislation
