Civil forfeiture allows larceny by 'thugs with badges'

This is a piece by columnist George Will about the sickening practice known as civil asset forfeiture. The practice allows police to seize a person's property if the person is merely suspected of a crime. No conviction is required.

In other words, under civil asset forfeiture, you are guilty until proven innocent.

Here's a story last year from the Washington Post about how the DEA seized $3.2 billion worth of stuff in a year using civil asset forfeiture laws.

Independent Journalism

I've been a reporter, writer and editor for 37 years. I'm dedicated to honest, fair and hard-hitting reporting. I'm not conservative or liberal, but am just a reporter who tries to get to the truth at any given point in time. I don't believe in pulling punches or being a lap dog because that serves no one. A free and aggressive press is essential to human liberty. That's why the Founding Fathers put a free press in the Constitution. So on this site you'll get a variety of news, fearless opinion, analysis, humor, satire and commentary. It's kind of like a free-for-all. My motto is "Without fear and without favor."  But good journalism takes time and money, so I hope you will contribute what you can to these efforts by clicking on the "Donate" button above. I could use your help. Thanks, Dennis Domrzalski.
