[QUOTE="_CY_, post: 2883854, member: 7629"] according to Loveless the average seizure in Oklahoma amounts to about $1,200, with 99 percent of seizures falling below the $50,000 threshold, so the bill would protect the majority of innocent victims of asset seizure. [URL]http://www.normantranscript.com/news/oklahoma/no-justice-at-all-sen-loveless-unveils-details-on-civil/article_a96da58d-7ce2-5c3a-b67a-b942602681f0.html[/URL] if above is true then your scenario with huge qualities of narcotics and $20k+ sums of cash are the rare occasions where seizure might actually be justified. assuming numbers Loveless used are correct, what about the other 99% of seizures averaging $1,200? “An agency shouldn't be able to grow its budget based on how much property it takes,” Loveless said. He cited examples of a district attorney who took up residence in a seized home and another who used seized funds to pay off student loans. He said that’s the reality of the situation, one that he said has to change. “We've already seen too many examples of civil asset forfeiture being abused in Oklahoma and around the nation,” [/QUOTE]
