Asset forfeiture is a legal process by which authorities may confiscate money and property from people who are accused of crimes for which they may never be convicted.

Way Too Often, they have never even been charged with a crime.

If a prosecutor can get a grand jury to "indict a ham sandwich", you'd think we wouldn't even consider Asset Forfeiture without an indictment.

At first glance a couple of decades ago, Asset Forfeiture seemed like a good idea.
Now, I am older and wider, and have read about regular HONEST citizens that have been lassoed by this practice. I am against Asset Forfeiture as a 'crime fighting' tool. I'd like to see it ended in Texas and in the rest of the United States.
