    Thumbs up This is HUGE: 9-0 SCOTUS ruling against asset forfeiture.

    Just came out earlier today

    https://thehill.com/regulation/court...ines-by-states

    This is a big deal as it is the first time the 8th amendment has been applied to limit penalties and forfeiture at the state / local level.

    It opens the door wide to additional challenges against unreasonable fines and the common practice of seizing unrelated assets from suspects.

    Looks like a few Backwoods Racist Towns just lost next years budget finding ...
    ONE-N-DONE, YOU GOT PLAYED; Time To Play-On
    Remember ... ELECTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES ... So STFU Bitch

    It is about time this happened. All the justices agreed.

    They can still do it, but not more than the potential fine of whatever crime they think they see. They cannot take a 40 K vehicle for a traffic stop.
