The Forfeiture Curmudgeons

"Law enforcement is so corrupt now, with its corrupt and abusive use of asset forfeiture.  This would never have happened if good and honest guys like Yoder and Cates were still in charge. It’s not like everything they did created the foundation for this problem.  It’s not like their creation of a system of in rem forfeitures with only a probable cause burden on the government, made out of the most spurious of claims where anyone in possession of cash was presumed to be a drug kingpin, was the cause."
