IJ's Scott Bullock discusses the Forfeiting Justice report

http://www.ij.org/ForfeitingJustice

On 11-22-10, the Institute for Justice released a new report called Forfeiting Justice, which shows how Texas law enforcement agencies increasingly profit from the power of "civil forfeiture." Civil forfeiture http://www.ij.org/about/3292 is the power to take property suspected of involvement in a crime. But unlike criminal forfeiture, police and prosecutors never have to convict the owner of any crime to take away cash, cars, homes and more.
