Seizing the Fourth Redux

Episode: 2450

Civil Asset Forfeiture is the biggest unconstitutional crime committed by enforcement agencies at all levels of government that most people have not heard of nor understand.

Amendment IV

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

“The essence of Government is power; and power, lodged as it must in human hands, will ever be liable to abuse.” — James Madison, 1787. Lead author, Bill of Rights.

 “A bill of rights is what the people are entitled to against every government on earth, general or particular; and what no just government should refuse, or rest on inferences.” – Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, 1787.
