But, there is a glimmer of hope. The Michigan legislature is considering reform. Asset forfeiture is out of control in this country.
-------------------------
When the cops raided Ginnifer Hency's home in Smiths Creek, Michigan, in July, "they took everything," she told state legislators last Tuesday, including TV sets, ladders, her children's cellphones and iPads, even her vibrator. They found six ounces of marijuana and arrested Hency for possession with intent to deliver, "even though I was fully compliant with the Michigan medical marijuana laws," which means "I am allowed to possess and deliver." Hency, a mother of four with multiple sclerosis, uses marijuana for pain relief based on her neurologist's recommendation. She also serves as a state-registered caregiver for five other patients.
Hency's compliance with state law explains why a St. Clair County judge dismissed the charges against her. But when she asked about getting back her property, she reported, "The prosecutor came out to me and said, 'Well, I can still beat you in civil court. I can still take your stuff.'" When she heard that, Hency said, "I was at a loss. I literally just sat there dumbfounded."
But..please keep posting garbage that doesn't contain the truth ...
We all get you hate civil forfeiture... I use it against drug traffickers ... not granny twelve plant..so get over it...anything that remotely has to do with drugs you want off the table ... sorry Charlie others feel just as passionately not to have society ruined by them and the damaged people that seek them .
Hiding behind mm script is a common ploy used by criminals in my area
If you benefit from crime ... those benefits can be at risk...

more cop propaganda
Sorry cops locking people up and stealing their assets because they sold or ingested a substance not approved by your bosses does not a society make.

Sadly... Roadking and Frank... your nanny government knows what's best for you! One day they will end this silly war on a plant!
Then CHANGE the laws. Police don't write the laws, they enforce what they're told to enforce. If you disagree with a law, then go through the process of getting it changed. All these "I hate cops" threads are getting ridiculous.

Did you see the judges ruling? They were enforcing no law but their made up ones.

What part of the truth? The part where this citizen was found innocent?
Apparently being a bully behind the badge is ok....you are the LAW! We shall respect your authoritah!
Sorry but no. Asset forfeiture has been horrifically abused. If it was always being used as originally intended that would be different.
But, there is a glimmer of hope. The Michigan legislature is considering reform. Asset forfeiture is out of control in this country.

This is one reminder that many leos are neither friends nor protectors of law abiding citizens. Avoid them whenever you can.

This is another reminder. Someone claiming to be an leo who advocates stealing from law abiding citizens because they use cannabis for medical purposes as approved by the state in which they live in.
Both are nauseating.
