Civil Forfeiture as part of a larger trend

When TSA agents find that travelers have a lot of cash,
they alert DEA agents to take it. Because if you have
cash, it's possible that you got it illegally. In effect,
it's illegal to carry cash.

long been fighting this. Viral videos of DEA agents
robbing travelers made a real impact.

Good for the Justice Department. Hopefully the DEA will change their ethos from one of robbery to one of protection. The TSA also needs to change, that or be replaced by something a lot better.

He's not a fan of civil liberties, eg, his plan to
unleash cops on a "day of violence", & to
give them even more immunity from
committing crimes.

I'm not the one predicting it.
Trump actually said it, ie, it's his "prediction" of what he'll do.

Furthering the violence is Trump's stated goal of greater immunity for cops who commit crimes.

You ignore Trump's authoritarian bent.
Many others won't.
