      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 Asset Forfeiture memo specifically stated that the seizure must be in accordance with STATE LAW. This is a nontroversy.

      No. "Forfeiture" & "seizure" aren't same. Some states banned civil forfeiture, not seizure. Directive lets feds forfeit w/o criminal charge. https://twitter.com/victorb123/status/887867444085137408 …

      It's still IN ACCORDANCE WITH STATE LAW, contrary to the nontroversy panic. Must still follow applicable state laws.

      It seems you're misunderstanding. The AG's directive allows forfeiture in states that have banned forfeiture.

      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.

          That Feds are gonna forfeit assets. That's the CONCERN. Meanwhile, it covers legally seized assets where a federal law violation occurred
