I think it’s a bit less nefarious than that & mostly just another way to fuck over minorities & make them submissive to authority.

It isn’t too often you hear about joe average white guy getting held up in a civil forfeiture dispute. Completely innocent aside from not being white on the other hand, it comes to light every now & then.

Without trying to incite a political flame war in these comments - you don’t really hear about the US Republican Party of personal freedoms & ability to shoot & kill anybody who steals from you trying to overturn civil forfeiture.



Right, they don't expect to have it done to them.
