    What a terrible decision. That’s like saying if you have a house key they can search your house.

      There’s a reason they keep you focused on the first two amendments. Don’t want you realizing how comfortable they are with unregulated search and seizure.

      Honestly idk how the civil forfeiture can possibly be considered constitutional
