Civil asset forfeitures by police on drug pretexts turn "innocent until proven guilty" on its head


The above Daily Show piece mentioned, in passing, that the feds have confiscated $5,000,000,000 in assets — but that doesn't include state and local drug asset seizures like ones made by the hyperactive Tenana, TX police, subject to a class action suit for their abusive interpretation of civil forfeiture laws and depicted in a Daily Show interview of one of that police department's victims.
     The same thing is going on in other states. Below is Tennessee's outrageous abuse of that state's civil forfeiture legislation.
