Episode description
Every day in the United States possessions and cash are stolen from citizens who have committed no crime. They can't call the police because the police are responsible for the theft. Its called Civil Asset Forfeiture.
In this episode I will talk about the history of Civil Asset Forfeiture, an underhanded scheme used by police departments across the country to confiscate cash or valuable items, often without charging the owner with a crime. And it is all legal, based on a law that was passed back in 1984...or was it 1684?
