Cafe Hayek — where orders emerge
"Civil asset forfeiture, certainly as used today in the United States, is a crime. A rather vile crime, at that. Read, for example, George Will’s column in today’s Washington Post. Or this 2010 study by the Institute for Justice (which Will links to in his column.) And yet governments practice civil asset forfeiture routinely, mostly in the name of fighting the misnamed “war on drugs.”"
When I was a police officer I saw the results of these types of actions as a win for the good guys. Now I just regret cops have to be in the middle of this ridiculous drug war, which insures there will always be more incentive to sell than there is to legally find and stop sellers.
