[QUOTE="DriveInDriveOut, post: 3988199, member: 44954"] [URL="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/20/us/politics/civil-asset-forfeiture-supreme-court.html"]Supreme Court Limits Police Powers to Seize Private Property[/URL] The Supreme Court ruled on Wednesday that the Constitution places limits on the ability of states and localities to take and keep cash, cars, houses and other private property used to commit crimes. The practice, known as civil forfeiture, is a popular way to raise revenue and is easily abused, and it has been the subject of widespread criticism across the political spectrum. The court’s decision will open the door to new legal arguments when the value of the property seized was out of proportion to the crimes involved. [/QUOTE]
