I think there should be more civil forfeiture.

I’ve only seen two people come out against this, Jeff Sessions and Copper.
What am I, chopped liver?

Back in the early 2000s I gave my son a car. I had bought a new one, and gave him my 4 year old Lincoln Town Car. My son had been in and out of trouble with pills, but had spent a year in jail and completed a rehab program, had a decent job, and was honestly trying to get his life together. Three or four months after I gave him the car, a friend of his called him and asked to borrow 20 bucks. My son should have known he was being set up, because you don't call someone asking to borrow money and then ask them to bring it to you.
Anyway, he drove to the friend's apartment building to hand him the 20 bucks, his friend walked up to the car window, grabbed the 20, and then tossed a bottle of pills in the window. My son said he got out of his car and walked in the direction his friend had ran in telling him he didn't want them when he suddenly found himself surrounded by police. I never trusted anything my son told me prior to this, but I do believe he was telling me the truth about this.
He was arrested for selling illegal drugs, the car was taken, and he ended up going to prison for I think 2 years. They sold the car even though it was still in my name, and even though he was not actually in the car when they arrested him. The whole thing was a setup - one more drug arrest for the books and quick revenue for the county.

God, that sounds awful, Larry.
The war on drugs hasn't been very successful thus far, even with this terrible scheme in place.

Yeah that's been a travesty forever. Maybe people of all political stripes can unite behind that one.

I think it might depend on timing. If one group makes it clear early on that they're against it, the other might pick the opposite just, y'know, 'cause.

Very sorry to hear Larry.
Didn't know you had kids. How many do you have? -
