Asset forfeiture is seized only after conviction. You are once again conflating asset forfeiture with civil forfeiture, which are two totally different things.
Also, robbery (property taken by force) is a different crime from burglary (breaking and entering to commit a crime, often larceny) and larceny (stealing of property). Larceny accounts for the vast majority of crime in the country and results in property losses 3x-4x that of burglary. You are quoting the burglary stats, calling it robbery, and then acting kit it represents larceny. You've done this three times now. I know you know the difference between the three. Why do you continue to mislead in this way?
Purposely misleading only undermines your legitimate cause against civil forfeiture.
my dad dies, and we settle his estate. my dad had a pistol, that my brother was given, on way home he got pulled over for minor traffic violation, and they found the gun, since he just recieved in minutes earlier it wasnt registered. Cops took it, no reciept, no nothing, its gone. to the cops private collection.
And here are some cases where LE used the stolen money for their own personal benefit;
An assistant district attorney in the state of Oklahoma lived rent-free in a house confiscated by local law enforcement under the practice of asset forfeiture. His office paid the utility bills. He remained there for five years, despite a court order to sell the house at auction.
Another district attorney used $5,000 worth of confiscated funds to pay back his student loans.
These are just a few of the gems unearthed during a recent hearing on Oklahoma authorities’ liberal use of asset forfeiture to take property from suspected criminals and spend it on personal enrichment. OklahomaWatch.org reports:
I don't see how serious asset forfeiture can be done in Oklahoma. The state has no more tax dollars to give to support police departments. Therefore to have more funding, the police have no other choice but to continue to prey upon innocent citizens for their cash. So be forewarned, don't try to drive in Oklahoma with a significant amount of cash on you. Besides that, most Oklahomans don't see this as an important issue to be concerned abou, since so few Oklahomans ever carry more than a $100 in cash.
It isn't as if the government, at all levels, is corrupt!!
They're only keeping us safe, right?
