I'm glad to see that this has passed and hopefully it will be signed by the governor. It doesn't surprise me that this came out of NM, the state did produce Gary Johnson.

Allowing law enforcement to take an individual's property without due process is straight up theft by the state. More states ought to, in my opinion, follow suit and take measures to protect the property rights of its citizens. I think the provison that all legally seized funds go into the state coffers and not into the hands of law enforcement was a smart move. It's a good safeguard to police the police.

Your thoughts on this action and civil forfeiture in general?
