Federal law enforcement agencies arbitrarily confiscate more property from Americans each year than all the burglars steal nationwide. Emily AlbanIndiana’s solicitor general told the US Supreme Court in 2018 that the government is entitled to confiscate any car or truck that exceeds the speed limit. The Supreme Court reeled in an 1827 Spanish pirate ship to justify seizing a 1977 Pontiac. The FAIR Act would also end the profit incentive for law enforcement to directly pocket what they plunder. It would severely weaken what Alban calls the “law enforcement-industrial complex.”But for 30 years, that complex has routed efforts to fundamentally curb law enforcement tyranny.
