Civil Asset Forfeiture... Taken beyond reasonable...

Even if the person isn't innocent, the police department sure isn't entitled to that money. Guy steals credit card info in California, gets pulled over in OK and they suspect him of scamming someone, so rather than help the situation, they ALSO steal those people's money?

In this new world the PD is entitled, probably not the PD but the bureaucracy that runs the PD. I'm not concerned about LEO, I'm concerned with the 'crats who run the show behind the scenes.

Yes, they get it all and the poor victim has to prove that the money was his in the first place.

YET. try getting an OOS LE dept investigation going when you have solid proof of CC or Check fraud.
