#CivilAssetForfeiture is Theft.
In 2020 the U.S. DoJ distributed nearly $6.9 million in “equitable sharing payments of cash & sale proceeds” to Georgia law enforcement agencies, more than $5.5 million was cash.
In 2019, Ga’s share was $11,703,818, about $9.5 million in cash.
The state should never have the power to take someone's property without due process. #CivilAssetForfeiture #MeanGirlsDay
It's time to end all civil asset forfeiture.

Our government can legally do this. It’s called Civil Asset Forfeiture, and it’s basically legalized theft.

🚨 NEW EPISODE: The government offered Crystal Starling half of her life savings after determining she did nothing wrong, which is common in civil asset forfeiture cases. From my episode with Jill Jacobson on #civilassetforfeiture . #ChrisSpangleShow @YoungVoicesOrg

Year after year we can point out that #police steal more from us than do all burglars combined, but #CivilAssetForfeiture is defended by both major parties and nothing changes. It's like Americans have already acquiesced to living in a #PoliceState and don't care. :-(
We uncovered a case of a Raleigh cop - also acting as a federal agent - negotiating away a criminal investigation if a man would simply sign his cash over to the government.
This practice is still alive today. #civilasset #civilasset forfeiture
'The FAIR Act isn't a perfect bill....Still, some improvement is better than none for a practice that has largely served as an exercise in legalized highway robbery.' -- J.D. Tuccille, Reason

“The practice is nicknamed, “Policing for Profit,”. If police come across money (or other assets) in nearly any situation, they may take it and there’s almost nothing the owner can do about it. larrysharpe.com

The Intellectualist azcentral at this point, the GOP is just another organized crime network.
#RICO them all ~ and i let's see some
#CivilAssetForfeiture for those billionaire backers.
I wonder if this P Diddy thing is just a means for the government to seize his considerable assets. #civilassetforfeiture is insane: you don't even need to be convicted of a crime for govt to take all your shit.
It’s past time to take the trash out, do you agree?🚮

I love the fact that the subject of #CivilAssetForfeiture is going viral.
It's long past time to end this abusive practice, and it's great to see the public outraged about it.
The burden of proof should always lie with government, not the accused.
#EndCivilAssetForfeiture
#Civilassetforfeiture , a legal tool requiring little proof, grants law enforcement the power to seize property from individuals & businesses, leading many agencies to rely on it for funding. We believe it undermines our Fifth Amendment rights and advocate for more transparency.
