Jeff Sessions wants police to take more cash from American citizens

[Tiger1]

Asset forfeiture is a disputed practice that allows law enforcement officials to permanently take money and goods from individuals suspected of crime. There is little disagreement among lawmakers, authorities and criminal justice reformers that “no criminal should be allowed to keep the proceeds of their crime.” But in many cases, neither a criminal conviction nor even a criminal charge is necessary — under forfeiture laws in most states and at the federal level, mere suspicion of wrongdoing is enough to allow police to seize items permanently.

This nation is rapidly moving away from what it is (too many differing opinions on what type of country we actually are, anything but a true capitalist country), to something more of a fascist/police state type country.

Didn't they just do something a couple of years ago where the police couldn't hold anything seized for a certain amount of time especially if you are found innocent? I could be wrong just asking.
