All for taking away criminals assets if they are convicted, but forfeitures on police stops with no conviction makes police the criminals

Also important to make sure that proceeds from post-conviction forfeiture can never be used to fund law enforcement. Otherwise is corruption

Yep, it's an incentive to continue to abuse asset forfeiture!

Asset forfeiture lets cops rob you whenever they want without charging you, and they steal more than criminals do.

Of course the WSJ is in favor of this, the paper of the 1%, who can never have enough of their workers' money.

Safeguards? This administration lies through its teeth religiously. Safeguards in that context are for suckers.

The same safeguards that allowed cops to steal during the previous two administrations, presumably.

No way. The previous admins were paragons of propriety. *cough* Fast&Furious *cough*
