In these tight financial times police departments still have a way to raise the cash they need to run even as their budgets are trimmed. Will we see police departments leaning more on civil forfeiture to fund themselves?

Obama said while campaigning that he wanted to "share the wealth". Now we see what "share the wealth" means.

Bzzzt. This predates Obama. This came in under Reagan. It just happens to be a handy tool that Ronnie left for the cops to fund themselves in bad times. It was supposed to make Nancy happy because it would fight the nasty drug lords.

Ya, this is horse shit. The police should be funded only by the government. All speed ticket fees and confiscations should go to charity only.
