Re: Anti Asset Forfeiture bill?

I fully agree TAM, this is a law that is rife with abuses. I was still a LEO when this was first proposed, and on the face of it, the idea sounded like a good way for municipalities,, to help offset the costs associated with prosecuting drug dealers, and other criminal enterprises. But without the requirement of conviction, or even prosecution in some cases, it became no more than highway robbery, perpetrated by LEO, and their agencies filling their coffers.

I have no problem, with a "convicted" drug dealer being required to surrender any assets, either used in the commission of the offense, or as fruits of the enterprise, but, without due process, this is a complete slap in the face of the framers of the Constitution. JMHO
