Fantastic write up! I had no idea civil forfeiture went back that far. Even if the government “theoretically” has this power it is pretty obvious that they have been severely abusing it over the last few decades. I really hope that it is ruled unconstitutional sooner rather than later.
Yeah it looks like the late 90's was the closest we got to that happening and sadly all the rollbacks have occurred since on the restrictions but maybe the tide will turn again!
