They are, here too. It doesn't stop them abusing the law. Civil forfeiture is dated back decades ago. Guess they are used to it, especially, California.

This is also why police are against legalization of marajuana because they get to keep drug money during busts.

Yes. I want to extend to this as well. On top of drug money, they also get drug, car, sometimes house and everything else owned by the busted party.

There was a pretty detailed multi-part story about that in Washington Post two years ago

I can see some of them are Asian elites' kids who got sent over to the US.
When I was in college, a Chinese freshman drove a brand spanking new Red 458 Italia to school. I also talked to a AM DBS owner, he said he was from Shanghai. Yes, they drive like maniac.
