So the police are upset they can't steal from criminals because they have got used to the money. Sounds like, they are just as bad as the criminal. So many cases where assets are taken, the assets had NOTHING to do with the crime. Police use it as an excuse to steal and profit.  Yes there are actually a rare legitimate reason, but for the most part, everything I've read and seen shows the wrongful stealing outweighs the legitimate asset forfeiture. If an item was not involved in the crime, it shouldn't be allowed to be taken.  This oversight will help ensure it isn't being abused by the police.
