quote [ Four years after the Philadelphia District Attorney seized her house without ever charging her with a crime, a 72-year-old grandmother has prevailed at the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, where justices strengthened protections for property owners against civil asset forfeiture. ]

Ugh hate to in any way, shape, or form be with numbers, but most of you are incorrect about this topic. The news of cherry-picked situations of overzealous locals seizing grandma's house are the MINORITY (1%) of civil forfeiture on the whole.
The "Institute for Justice" is the TEA PARTY. Make no mistake. They are not trying to remove civil forfeiture, but taxes as an institution. They have several videos (which we were investigated on) in which they "re-enacted" the search/arest scene on youtube. They didn't care that they got 90% of what was in the physical description of what was said and done wrong. Similar
Civil forfeiture stops the mob from growing in your neighborhood. It stops the mob from having the funds to assassinate local attorney's before they (the suspects) can be tried in court (as you've asked). This is why we take the funds PRIOR to the suspect being able to use them against us or making the funds disappear overseas.
You can say it's not right, you can say it's not fair, but in the end it's what you've asked us to do all along. Make up your mind. If a character is sympathetic (grandma) should we not apply the law the same way we would to any other citizen? Should there be exemptions for sympathetic characters?
