This is my home county. I’ve appeared in front of Judge John many times. He’s a no-nonsense Citadel grad. Good for him.

Did you get a chance to read that series referenced in the article? It was damning stuff and really good work by the local paper.

The African-American population is about 27%, so it makes sense that black men only are at about 13%.

Prepare for the sheriff's association and other LE lobby groups in SC to fight tooth and nail to keep their right to legally steal from citizens.

How do expect our baws in beige to operate without taking 10 thousand, I mean 5 thousand....or was it 1 thousand? in cash from these obvious criminals.

someone was charged with a crime but not convicted.
I have never understood forfeiture without a conviction. I can see freezing with due process and with enough transparency that it can be seen if freezing is putting an undue burden on them or family to get them to plead guilty, but if no conviction forfeiture never made sense.
Like traffic tickets or fines I am not sure even valid forfeitures need to go back to law enforcement or department issuing respective fine. I think when departments benefit for basically doing their job it pushes inconsistent enforcement when funds are needed or to meet quotas when fines are built into budgets.

They really have no choice now since the Supreme Court made their ruling. Fortune article:
LINK
"The Supreme Court ruled unanimously Wednesday to limit civil forfeiture laws that give state and local law enforcement the ability to seize property involved in crimes.
The move was made in a ruling that states the Eighth Amendment, which bars “excessive fines” on the federal level, also applies to state and local governments."

It is but some jurisdictions haven't ruled on it and some have gotten the ruling incorrect.
