| Subject: No Drugs, No Crime and Just Pennies for School: How THIEVING poLICE Use Civil Asset Forfeiture Tue Feb 19, 2019 12:26 am | |
| In the past two decades, the federal government took in $36.5 billion in assets police seized from people on America’s roads and in its poorer neighborhoods, many of whom never were charged with a crime or shown to have drugs.
Most of the money seized by this civil asset-forfeiture process returns to the law-enforcement agencies that seized it, providing funds for a variety of law-enforcement needs and desires, including exercise equipment, squad cars, jails, military equipment and even a margarita maker.
