Will This End Asset Seizure?

I read the series about this in the Washington Post a few months ago. Under this "program" the police could confiscate anything, FOPA not withstanding. The risk is the next AG could reinstate the program. Here is a search link for the Washington Post for this topic.

Here is an excerpt from another story in the link below...

The highly controversial civil asset forfeiture program known as "Equitable Sharing" was created at the height of the War on Drugs in the 1980s and allows law enforcement to seize not only private property such as homes, cars, boats and weapons but also cash.

The move by Holder as he steps down from his position as Attorney General seems to be motivated partly by a desire to leave a legacy, and partly as a response to a Washington Post investigation which revealed the extent to which thousands of state and local police departments have abused the program to the tune of billions of dollars.

When asset seizure becomes unprofitable, it will end. This will have to happen through the courts. If you're young enough, it may take place in your lifetime.

It has more holes than Swiss Cheese. It will never end as long as there are highwaymen and rube travelers.
