When the government takes people's property without due process, it's a violation of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments—and it's theft.https://twitter.com/reason/status/903343642403733505 …

The directive states: 1. Assets must already be lawfully seized/forfeited by state law 2. Must be criminal activity violating federal lawpic.twitter.com/mYKVsyi9FI

"Seized" and "forfeited" are not the same thing.
-
I'm aware of this. Would you respond to the directive and the highlighted segments? Have you even read it? You appear not to have.
-
You're still misunderstanding. The directive allows *forfeiture* in states that ban it. Even in those states, there may be lawful *seizure*.
-
-
You should reread it! Says the feds can forfeit if state has seized lawfully, implicitly even if forfeiture is unlawful in that state.
-
And it must be seized lawfully -- so it's already been taken. Then, there must be a VIOLATION OF FEDERAL LAW.
-
I'm not sure you realize what the concern here is.
