quote:is it though? Being out whatever was seized, and then spending more money on a lawyer that may or may not be returned after trial. I have read about stories where after initial arrest, bonds are set just high enough where defendants in jail can't attend their seizure hearings. Only after seizure is finalized are they released without charges shortly afterward.
Well if the money is legal it is relatively easy to prove your innocence.
More often than not defendants spend more money on counsel than what was seized. This is by design to discourage people from fighting seizures.

Look, I can go on for days about how terrible this system is even down to traffic tickets that are cheaper than the court costs required to prove your innocence.
However, I think people are arguing the wrong point if they're trying to say that innocent people are being robbed by police departments across the country.
