RE: The US Police force seizes more property and possessions than thieves & burglars combined

in #police8 years ago

The difference between civil forfeiture and burglary is that burglary occurs when no one is around, the burglars are usually unarmed, and the intent is to steal, not injure. Civil forfeiture is bald-faced robbery from the victim, with great potential for harm to the victim since the thieves are armed and work in gangs. Another sign that we are once again living in the lawless age of the robber barons, with civil rights and constitutional guarantees being honored more in the breach than in the observance.

Lol I love your description of police "the thieves are armed and work in gangs"
