We’ve discussed this on and off for several years now. Civil asset forfeiture is a legal process that allows the government to seize assets and cash from citizens without any due process or judicial oversight.
You don’t even have to be charged with a crime. You are assumed guilty unless you can somehow prove your innocence
Of course, not everyone has this ability… if you aren’t local, state, or federal law enforcement, this is called stealing, and you go to prison.
But the government is actually a bigger problem than common thieves.
A 2015 report showed that law enforcement used civil asset forfeiture to steal more from US residents than every thief, robber, and burglar in America combined.
About $4.5 BILLION worth of cash, cars, homes, and other property is taken by civil asset forfeiture each year - hundreds of millions more than common criminals steal.

Revolution will stop it.
How about you take the cars from drunk drivers first? Taking a drivers license will not stop them from driving. At the least take their tags. But for speeding? Habitual speeders, maybe.
@ December 4, 2018 at 7:33 AM. Damn right. Government is getting way to big and the people will have to stand up to them soon. They have stopped working for us and now work for themselves. When was the last time your representative got in touch with you or anyone you know to ask what you wanted them to do when it comes to a law or anything else for that matter? They run the country the way THEY see fit. Not the way WE see fit. Which is what they are supposed to do. They pass laws according to what THEY think should be passed. And at the same time, make themselves immune to the same laws they pass on us. I think that is called a dictatorship. It needs to be stopped. This is OUR country and we are losing our grip on it. But it will not stop till we stand up and tell them we have had enough.
Think it's bad know, wait till all the guns are gone from law abiding citizens
