“After a concerned individual recounted his unfortunate encounters with Oklahoma police, Sheriff Edwards dismissed him as having ‘bad luck.’ It seems that Oklahomans must count on ‘luck’ not to be improperly targeted for their property. SB 838 would also transfer the assets seized to the State General Fund and away from police department budgets. Edwards claimed that this money was critical to combatting drugs and other public health risks. However, a federal audit of Oklahoma law enforcement agencies show that large sums of seized assets are returned to agency personnel in the form of salaries and benefits, for administrative tasks, and non-law enforcement purposes.”
