Civil forfeiture laws represent one of the most serious assaults on private property rights in the nation today. Under civil forfeiture, police and prosecutors can seize your car or other property, sell it and use the proceeds to fund agency budgets—often without so much as charging you with a crime. This Act protects individual liberty and property rights by standardizing forfeitures across all crimes, simplifying procedures, and addressing counterproductive incentives in the law that distort policing priorities. Importantly, this Act does not change the authority of law enforcement to seize property suspected of being associated with crime or limit in any way prosecutors’ ability to charge and prosecute suspected criminals. Moreover, it ensures that those individuals proven guilty of a crime do not keep the fruits of their crime. In doing so, it strikes the right balance between the individual property rights and public safety.Committee Chair Bob Marshall must bring this bill up in committee. He seems to be reverting to Tom Sharp circa 1988, which is an especially bad role model. There appear to be enough votes to release it if Marshall and Sen. McBride vote for it, especially since Townsend and Lawson (!) are on the bill as co-sponsors. That's 4 out of 6. It's time to chip away at the police state that Delaware has become. As for John Carney, maybe he could exercise some leadership and come out in favor of this bill--except (a) he's still not an official candidate and (b) you can bet that this empty suit is sure to be in mindless (redundant, I know) thrall to law enforcement. Failure to work this bill is a fucking disgrace.
And when I call them animals, I said they're animals and Nancy Pelosi, they cut up a young woman. They cut up a young woman and her friend cut him up with a knife because it was more painful. They cut him up with a knife because it's more painful, takes longer than shooting a gun. They cut him up. I said these are animals and Nancy Pelosi said these are human beings are not animals.
If I lose an election over that you know what this country's in big trouble, big trouble. They want to disarm law abiding citizens and dismantle our police forces while freeing vicious MS 13 gang members in Joe Biden's America, rioters, looters and criminal aliens have more rights than law abiding citizen.
