[QUOTE="dgiharris, post: 73424183, member: 322579"] Look, it is all nice and good to say these sorts of platitudes, but they aren't so easy. Police abuse their power and this attitude that "oh, don't worry the courts will work it out" is untenable for the vast majority of citizens. Most citizens do not have $10k (or sometimes these cases can drag on and cost you $20k) laying around that they spend on legal fees to fight an injustice. Oftentimes, if you do manage to scrounge up that $10k and win your court case YOU DO NOT RECOVER LEGAL FEES!!!! Wrap your head around that. The entire legal system works against you, the DA will escalate charges to pressure you to take the original charge, in fact... with many civil forfeiture cases YOU ARE NOT CHARGED WITH A CRIME!!!! That is the problem with civil forfeiture, it is the only case in our legal system where you are [B]Presumed Guilty[/B] and have to prove your innocence. I do not mean to sound snarky or like a troll. I'm being sincere, you have no idea what you are talking about and you really need to spend some time reading up on Civil Forfeiture cases. The injustices will blow your mind. Fact is, 80% of middle class or lower families can not afford to fight a Civil Forfeiture case. [/QUOTE]
