Basically Mississippi wants to make it easier to steal your property and cash. In the news and entertainment did it's job properly then civil forfeiture would be a thing of the past.

Mississippi, along with 46 other states, allows law enforcement to use civil forfeiture to take possession and ownership of property, even if they never convict the owner or file criminal charges. Thanks to its powers of confiscation, law enforcement in the Magnolia State has seized over $2.3 million worth of property over the past 18 months, including 54 vehicles, dozens of firearms, and several iPhones.
But a bill introduced last week would revive “administrative” forfeiture in Mississippi, a form of civil forfeiture that has even fewer safeguards for innocent property owners. If enacted, property seized under the state’s Uniform Controlled Substances Law and valued at under $20,000 could be permanently confiscated without Mississippians ever getting their day in court.
This should be great for those who aren't fans of due process. Like the idiots that want to keep those on the no-fly list from buying guns without understanding that there is no due process for getting on the no-fly list and no way to get off of it.
This it the truth. I attended a talk by an FBI agent who said he put his ex-wife on the no-fly list for a week before taking her off, just to be a dick.
Must be all those republican values and ideals.Basically Mississippi wants to make it easier to steal your property and cash. In the news and entertainment did it's job properly then civil forfeiture would be a thing of the past.

How civil forfeiture is considered legal under the constitution is beyond me.

Considering its happening in 46 other states this is not a left verse right issue.
Yet you only cited Mississippi. Why is that?Considering its happening in 46 other states this is not a left verse right issue.

Dude, it's Mississippi, they think constitution means you need Exlax.
Yet you only cited Mississippi. Why is that?
Oddly enough, Mississippi is a signatory for the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.
If that was the case it would have been more accurate to state that Mississippi ALSO is dong it.Because that's what's in the news right now?
Fools. They won't like the result.

One of the few issues on which the rank and file Left and Right are largely in agreement.
It make a difference if you take into account the pretense that red states are more inclined to protect the rights of people and follow the Constitution.What difference does it make? Unless you just want to pick a fight.
