Just infuriating, fucking arrogant assholes. http://washingtonexaminer.com/a-fisherman-sues-the-feds-for-acting-like-crooks/article/2505139
These forfeiture laws are pretty fucked up. When the money/assets you confiscate go directly to your agency, it will obviously create additional motivation. People also need to be fired over this. The government doesn't give two shits about losing a lawsuit, because we foot the bill.
As long as people blindly accept this kind of shit in the guise of being "tough on crime" it will continue.
