Sessions: No need to reform civil forfeiture rules ...

In a brief appearance at the committee hearing on Wednesday, Paul strongly supported the reform efforts. He cited the Post stories and said civil-asset forfeiture has a disproportionate impact on minorities.
“This committee has an opportunity to end an injustice,” Paul said. “Civil forfeiture turns justice on its head.”
Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.), the committee’s ranking member, said civil-asset forfeiture has a place in law enforcement. “When used appropriately, this tool deprives criminals of their profits, and it deters crime,” he said.
But Leahy said, “We have have all seen the troubling reports. Roadside stops that resemble shakedowns. Seizure of bank accounts.”
Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) opposed any reform, saying he has heard from police groups across the country who said civil-asset forfeiture is an important law enforcement tool. Ending the sharing of seized cash with local departments “would be a huge detriment to law enforcement,” Sessions said.
frick jeff sessions ... anyone with half a brain sees how cf rules allow corruption and false accusations to enrich local law enforcement ...

Havent read about it and didnt see it, but Paul is an IDIOT of the highest degree if he said this.
Civil forfeiture needs strong reform and it has ZERO to do with minorities.
Way to play the game with old rules Paul.

our DOJ is about to become completely regressive and draconian
exactly the opposite of where they should be going
i hope y'all are concerned about potential Trump USSC nominees, now

a. he's right
b. he's giving the GOP a path to actually make inroads with minorities. instead y'all are doubling down ostracizing and marginalizing them

It probably hits minorities at a disproportionate rate.
Regardless, it needs to be reformed.
Jeff Sessions is not a good pick

We knew we were not going to be happy with every Trump decision.

Has Donald Trump ever voiced an opinion on this either way?
I'm seriously asking, as I have no idea.

The shitiness of civil forfeiture stands on it's own and should be heavily reformed just because.
There is no need to wrap this in a "do it for the children" mantra.

Troubling, to say the least.
It is one thing to be "Law and Order" dudes.
This CF shite is in great need of review / modification (at a minimum)
Law / Order is NOT the same as CF (as it is practiced)

The AG, and all appointments, follows the lead of the president. Hopefully Trump will have differing opinions on this topic.

Yeah, not good at all.
Note to self: Sessions doesn't favor the Rule of Law.
Posted on 11/18/16 at 10:26 am to tiderider
Wow yeah that's bad. You would think everyone would be in agreement that these need to be reformed.
Posted on 11/18/16 at 10:27 am to tiderider
I actually really appreciate Jeff Sessions, because he's proven that sometimes the left and the right on this board can come together and agree that Jeff Sessions is a huge prick.
