RE: Texas Police Collect More Than $50 Million In One Year Thanks To Civil Asset Forfeiture

in #news7 years ago

Whether to legalize drugs is an entirely different issue. I was speaking to forfeiture laws, not the bigger question of prohibition. Forfeiture laws are not just confined to drug cases. when a corrupt defense contractor bribes a general and a congressman and the three of them run off with several million dollars in the course of committing fraud, do you think society should be able to recover the ill-gotten gain? Otherwise they bank millions of dollars that is waiting for them when paroled. For the record, I do not agree with current drug laws either but that is a different conversation.
