“While law enforcement personnel are climbing the ladder to bureaucratic success by taking people’s property, the IJ found that 80% of persons whose property was seized were never charged with a crime. There are only eight states that bar the use of forfeiture proceeds by law enforcement, while in 26 states, 100% of forfeiture proceeds are distributed to law enforcement. Speaking in Orwellian tones like ‘protecting the public’ and ‘making you safe,’ law enforcement and regulators are, in reality, stealing from the citizenry in broad daylight, with much of the booboisie cheering it on, believing they’re made safer by this thuggery.”
