From the article: "Most federal forfeitures are civil, meaning the government can keep the seized property without ever charging the owner with a crime."

SO yeah, this is about freedom and people chasing the so called "American Dream".

No it isn't. 

It is a call to reform the practice of seizing assets while unnecessarily scaring readers into believing they could be targeted by a seizure at any time. 

The one example the reporter mustered was a rich lady worth 86 million who had her [BLEEP] in the safety deposit boxes of a bank who that was found guilty of laundering money. What a victim!! LOL

All the rest is speculative fear mongering crap. You fell for it. Congratulations.

Now - if you are keen to take this influx of seized cash away from federal and local law enforcement and create more government oversight to insure there are fewer victims of unwarranted seizures, I know a few million Democrats who would vote for that, LOL.
