In Florida, and perhaps in other states, mental health laws are abused, used unlawfully, to raise revenue. It's being used to discipline children in public schools, even without first notifying the parents, which would be part of the law. It is a very traumatic thing to put a child or anyone through when they are not at all meeting the requirements of the law for the Baker Act.

I have to differ with the opinions expressed in this video. Policing for profit, while certainly very wrong, isn't the fundamental problem with civil forfeiture. The fundamental problem is that it's unconstitutional and unconscionable to take a person's property unless BOTH a) the property owner has been convicted of a crime and b) property forfeiture is explicitly allowed in statute to be a penalty for the crime the property owner was convicted of. This is entirely without regard to who gets to keep any forfeited assets.

I am from New Zealand, and there is a civil-forfeiture equivalent law here. The key difference is that the funds are not kept by the Police or Government. The funds from seized assets are funneled into rehabilitation programs for criminals. There is no financial incentive for Police or Govt. to apply civil forfeiture. Civil forfeiture is a proven tool for crime fighting without a financial incentive. As I see it from here, the root cause of abuse of civil forfeiture in the USA is policing for profit.

If they were required to put forfeiture proceeds in untouchable escrow accounts until a conviction was made we would see a lot less forfiture. Also, proceeds should not be given to ANY government agency. The Feds give kickbacks to seizing departments so the feds are out. If those proceeds went to charities like homeless shelters and food banks the cops wouldn't be so eager 😂

I would find it hard just find anyone who would say that due process is not fundamental or common in our legal system as a matter of fact due process is required in our day and age receive the term used in the criminal civil and administrative law. So now let's look at what the definition of due process truly is as stated in our constitution the term comes from the magna Carta to the colonists to the writers of the declaration of Independence the Constitution and the Bill of Rights which were required by the people to ratify the Constitution and due process was understood as every man has a right to a jury trial of his peers no life when property shall be taken away from him without due process the first and only Jerry trial it was heard before The supreme Court in 1794 Justice John Jay stated in his instructions to the 12 man jury that you could old boys know that you can judge the facts and the law and that decision will be final but it would be nice if you judge the facts and leave the law to the judges. Now this was common law at the time of the colony and the founding of our country and they knew it without saying and if you look at judge waste of the South Carolina supreme Court in the case of zealstra versus corporation of Charleston South Carolina 1794 he gives the perfect definition of what due process actually means and it cannot be confused the way he States it and it comes from time and memorial it is a natural law of fundamental law the law of land and our supreme Court in our Congress has seem to forgotten this and it's time to change it back these administrative agencies do not have the right to write a law and judge law all cases that deal with your freedom or your purse as in money go to a jury of your peers not to an agency judge who is assigned by the agency themselves and gets paid by the agency and it's b******* and these cities states and other agencies that are seizing people's money because they can may not be able to be sued but the people that work for the government can personally be sued and held accountable for their actions under 42 1983 and there is no qualified immunity people had enough with the internet shoot I got a high school diploma that's it and I'm able to find this s*** it's time to wake up judge supreme Court Justice Roberts may not like the magna Carta but he's got to live with it and he's got to abide by it as it pertains to the Constitution United States as it was written and if they can't do that they need to be impeached and thrown out and if our congressman and our senators don't start abiding by it and giving these agencies power that they do not have the right to do online shall be written by the Congress no one else the word all means all you cannot give it to an agency to hear write your own laws cuz your own s*** I'll stop there I bramble enough but I'm sure you get the point you look up this stuff and start getting the word out start doing some first amendment auditing on the congressman and the supreme Court justices see what happens

YOu know the police have technology that alerts when large amounts of cash pass sensors they place at strategic spots on roads, freeways, borders etc. The bills magnetic strips emit a frequency when there are enough of them bundled together(10,000 I think, I'll edit with the exact number). You know who knows this and circumvents these cash grabs, criminals. You know who doesn't, the kid who just sold two quads on craigslist or aunt bonnie coming home from the casino or any other citizen criminal enough not have heard they live on a toll road they'll pay to build twice. It's not an accident they know who to pull over and why they are so insistent beyond law or reason on searching their cars.

I disagree - only CRIMINAL forfeiture meets constitutional muster, in my view. Impoundment could be an interim step - suspect money to be the result of crime, can temporarily impound it until investigations into the supposed crime are completed. If no crimes are charged, the lawful owner is restored fully - no fees, no charges, automatic return after a specified number of days. Impoundment may continue if there is a trial, and at the end of the trial the disposition of the property is part of a sentence, if convicted, or returned to its owner.

@@nerdlingeeksly5192 Then it's not civil forfeiture, it's a consequence of a criminal conviction. A civil forfeiture considers the seized property to have been guilty of a crime, and since the property is not protected by the Constitution, it's fair game for seizure under far weaker rules than a criminal court imposes. "The history of civil forfeiture law in the United States can be traced to admiralty and customs law, when vessels found to contain contraband were seized and forfeited, oftentimes because the owner of the cargo or vessel was beyond the reach of U.S. courts." - Wikipedia.
