I encourage you to do some research on civil asset forfeiture. It is rarely used to stop criminals and is very frequently used to just straight up steal from the public.

WaPo article nty

So search it yourself. All the names are given.

You guys are so lazy. "Wahh its from WaPo". As if you can't just do some googling and find it from whatever source you want.

I believe these kind of articles are a result of defunding the police gone wrong instead of police simply stealing from the public.

Do you believe it's the other way around and defunding the police is working as intended and cops are just criminals stealing from the public?

Police in america have been stealing from people for long time

After police in Berkshire County, Mass., took her car, Malinda Harris did not get a chance to contest the seizure for five and a half years. After the Phoenix-based Goldwater Institute threatened to file a lawsuit on her behalf in March, the county agreed within a week to return the car, which she finally got back this summer.

The case shows how easy it is for the government to seize innocent people’s property under civil forfeiture laws, which allow law enforcement agencies to supplement their budgets by confiscating assets they claim are connected to criminal activity. Harris’ experience with legalized larceny, which she describes in congressional testimony she will give Wednesday, illustrates how that system is rigged against property owners.

So you agree it's better to not defund PDs and perhaps increase funding instead

Impossible.

Facts don't care about your beliefs.

Maybe do some basic research into the topic before forming your beliefs. Civil asset forfeiture has been around for decades

Nice dodge, was expected
