A few days ago jamesrage posted this thread about how Mississippi wants to make it easier for police officers to take cash and vehicles through civil forfeiture.
Do you think civil forfeiture should exist? Is it a violation of constitutional rights? If you support it, why?
I see it only as legalized theft by police, there is no reason why police should be able to take property without having to prove it first or charge someone of a crime.
