RE: Alabama Lawmakers Move To Rein In Out Of Control Civil Asset Forfeiture Practice
“Law enforcement should prove with evidence, beyond any reasonable doubt that someone is guilty of a crime, whereas now they simply need to prove that there is reasonable satisfaction to go after the property and individual.”
Isn’t actualy judge who decides whether to seize the property or not? If only law enforcement gets to decide it, it sounds very scary.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Jurisdictions vary on details of what is necessary to retain funds, and some involve courts. All of them depend on the police first just seizing assets on their own volition.
