http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-...op-ag-holder-moves-end-civil-asset-forfeiture Holder finally does something good. In other news, flea speck towns go bankrupt nationwide.
If Democrats were the ones that started all this Civil Forfeiture stuff Holder would never do that. I could possibly vote for Republicans if they weren't for this "you have to earn your freedom by being good" shit. That is another way to say that freedom doesn't stem from God but from government which is what Republicans hate about Marxists so go figure. [Also Republicans would have to stop fighting food labeling... I could never vote for some pos that wants me to eat whatever his cronies manufacture.] OTOH: YEAYYYY FOR FREEDOM BITCHES!! [except for the part where the Federal Government can still take property from people, that part sucks really bad and Holder sucks because he thinks that's ok]
I don't think he barred all asset forfeitures, just an especially egregious tactic where state or local cops teamed up with federal officials. The key here is that these victims typically have not been convicted of anything. They just had cash on them and the cops, like modern day highwaymen, want an excuse to take it. This is not a partisan issue, as republicans have been big supporters of this kind of thing. If anything, they are worse than democrats.
