    … which is still an absurd abuse of power, made clear by treating inanimate objects as persons. Literally lumps of clay.

    “Forfeiture” is how cops excuse stealing cash. They can just take it, and make you sue to get it back, because there’s no presumption of innocence. You were not charged with a crime. Your money was. And that’s different, somehow, because go fuck yourself.

      The best thing is that things are not people. So they don’t actually have any rights (they don’t have to have a lawyer, there is no presumption of innocence, no jury trial…)
