This being the normal instance of CAF; why would some stooge here argue that Pedro should keep that money?

Not only is your post racist, but you are missing the point. Civil asset forfeiture has been abused over and over by police and sheriff's departments to rob people of their meager assets on a whim. People with out of town plates are especially vulnerable, because it takes time and money to return to the jurisdiction to attempt to get it back. The cops know this, especially if they're looking to purchase some neat new SWAT gear.

Besides "Pedro" having his money confiscated, he also loses his truck, meaning his way to get to work. In many cases, the amounts confiscated are far less than $10k, and people have to hire a lawyer if they ever expect to get it back. No police officer has the right to take my assets on a suspicison of illegal activity. If you think they should, I advise you to never carry cash to purchase a used vehical.

I said many here at FR fail to understand the very basics of CAF.

You had to immediately prove my point.

Then you had to double down on stupid by not knowing that Pedro is as Caucasian as you are I. How could my post be racist?

Then you tripled down by making assumptions that I never even brought up. “Pedro also loses his truck”?

Whatever.
