Policing for Profit
• Institute for JusticePolicing for Profit: The Abuse of Civil Asset Forfeiture
chronicles how state and federal laws leave innocent property owners
vulnerable to forfeiture abuse and encourage law enforcement to take
property to boost their budgets. The report finds that by giving law
enforcement a direct financial stake in forfeiture efforts, most state
and federal laws encourage policing for profit, not justice.
Policing for Profit also grades the states on how well they protect property owners—only three states receive a B or better. And in most states, public accountability is limited as there is little oversight or reporting about how police and prosecutors use civil forfeiture or spend the proceeds.
