mysfit Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 These actions and seizures can take place without convictions and without even being charged. This is so wrong. And this is the AG. What a complete travesty. One of the Final Five.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holder,per the article, worked to curb abuses while Sessions plans to ramp it up. I'm not saying the Dems are wonderful but the Repubs are as anti-libertarian as the Dems.

happycamper Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Sessions is a disaster. Civil asset forfeiture, mandatory minimums, war on drugs, reviving DARE... it's like he looked at every failed policy from the '80s and said "yeah those. That's what we're doing". Remember that every argument you have with someone on MWCboard is actually the continuation of a different argument they had with someone else also on MWCboard.

Holder did nothing but give it mouth service. Just like Obama and immigration they did nothing and actively kept the current situation in place.

youngredbullfan Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Disgusting. This is the kind of stuff that should be getting the media attention.

What's to stop the police from saying "oh, that $500 in cash you have is from a suspected drug sale, we're seizing it." Its horrible. Wyoming tried to pass a bill outlawing it here a couple years ago. If I remember correctly the legislature passed it but the Governor vetoes it because there wasn't any evidence of seizure being abused in Wyoming. Don't think there was much push for it again last year. I was really concerned about Sessions as AG and it is looking like I was right to be.
