I don’t understand how any reasonable judge could think that civil forfeiture does not violate the 4th amendment. I mean, keeping the government from just taking your shit is one of the primary reasons for the amendment, right?
Sorry to be so pessimistic, but the Bill of Rights is a work of fiction.
It’s excellent fiction, and I love it, but any government employee is free to violate any of the rights we’re told we have. When they do, they’ll face consequences only very, very rarely, and only if you’re willing and financially able to take it to court. Even then, you’ll only ‘win’ if you luck into a sympathetic judge.
And whatever the verdict, when you needed your rights they weren’t there.
