The problem is that "the people who actually work on civil forfeiture" have embraced a system that makes a mockery of constitutional rights protecting property from seizure without due process while (if these seizures are as necessary to funding police or other services as claimed) putting law enforcement in a position of having to find property to seize to make their budgets work (what could possibly go wrong?)

Pretending that there was not bipartisan disgust or any flaws with the current process does not exactly do anything to enhance the credibility of "people who actually work on civil forfeiture" as partners who can find a solution outside of HB17-1313 which should of course be signed into law.
