Great victory against asset forfeiture. I did not see this news elsewhere on Freerepublic.

I was wrong about so much about the war on drugs. It is worse than the drugs.

The most draconian and harshest consequences should not necessarily be meted out against our citizens. We shouldn’t even be focused on interdiction.

At this point narcotics are a clear and present danger and the elimination of them should be taken world wide. Sovereignty be damned.

Civil forfeiture is so blatantly unconstitutional that I can’t believe it was ever done by anyone. Then again, governments will do anything they can d@mn well get away with. At least when Democrats are in power.

I don’t think the $3 million dollar fund is nearly enough. I think it should be about 100 times that amount.

This is good news except for only getting UP TO 100% of your property back if you are not convinced. You should get 100% back including lawyers fees and compensation for time off work as well as an added 10%

There was an article the other day about a case currently before the Supreme Court. It looks like there will be a federal ruling against this kind of thing in the not too distant future.

All property belongs to The State, Citizen!

Don't believe it? See what happens to "your" property if you don't pay property tax...

Those who practice asset seizure belong in jail for their crimes. Passing a law to “allow” it does not make it legal.

Great news, and a good start.

I am sure that it will SHOCK my fellow FReepers if I dare to mention that the last GOP Mayor of Philadelphia, the City of Brotherly Love, left office in 1952. When you have single party rule for that long, this kind of corruption naturally grows as it is the knowing that the ‘system’ will continue regardless of election results that keeps people continuing bad behavior.

Thanks for posting this! IJ is a wonderful organization that fights big government as advocates for freedom and the rights of the little guys. We are regular contributors.

I wonder how much IJ got for their fees. I hope it is enough to start taking this nationwide. Asset forfeiture and the WOD in general is a stain on our nation.
