Another outrageous example of the abuse of government power to steal an individual's life savings. Jeff Sessions needs to put a stop to these actions and hold the federal government to a high burden before taking cash from citizens. The burden should be on the government to prove the criminal activity associated with the cash before it can seize and keep the cash. Due process demands that the owners of the forfeited property have a speedy hearing. Presumption of wrong-doing is an injustice. C'mon President Trump - you want a smaller government? Start removing civil forfeiture authority and help starve the Leviathan.
