[QUOTE="mugsy, post: 2866397, member: 18914"] Full story is here: [URL]https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2016/03/30/justice-department-reinstates-federal-program-that-helps-state-cops-act-like-robbers/?wpmm=1&wpisrc=nl_volokh[/URL] Summary: The Justice Dept just reinstated a Federal asset forfeiture program that was suspended in December of 2015 by departing AG Eric Holder. This Federal program allows police departments, even in States imposing restrictions on asset forfeiture programs, to evade State laws by using the Federal statute. Fun Fact - US police departments now seize more property annually than all of the robbers in the US combined. This is not an anti-police thread but it is a thread to allow discussion about certain practices of US law enforcement that may have corrosive long term effects. [/QUOTE]
