Police Union Defends Forfeiture By Saying Anyone Carrying A Bunch Of Cash Is Probably A Criminal

Charlotte, North Carolina’s NBC affiliate, WCNC, tells it like it is. Although it puts quotes around a couple of phrases, it at least uses those phrases in the headline and subhead. “It is like highway robbery” says the headline. In the subhead: “policing for profit.”

Unless you’re a rich white old dude who fits their idea of a professional.

Then surely he’s just rich and not doing any illegal things.

It’s shocking that civil asset forfeiture is still around federally. It’s such a nonpartisan issue and is clearly unconstitutional.
