“First I am not sure all were “criminals””
Fair enough, I’ll call them “alleged criminals” then.
“The one thing I find is a blatant violation of rights is the taking of property and disposing of it just on an accusation.”
You’re talking about the vehicle forfeitures? If so, you can rest easy, they can’t be taken based only on an accusation:
“The actual process of forfeiture can only take place after a person is convicted of the crime alleged in the forfeiture.”
Yea, try to get a vehicle back after the motion has been filed. Next to impossible. What about all their cash, personal belongings and legal weapons that were confiscated? They are gone to the accused.
