Victory! #Forfeiture LOOPHOLE Shut Down
This decision is a wake-up call to other states that have allowed police to skirt their laws by pretending that the federal government’s #EquitableSharing program is a legal loophole.
It is not and it’s time to close these loopholes once and for all.
In 2021, Nevada police seized Stephen Lara’s life savings without suspecting him of wrongdoing.
Last week, a Nevada court ruled that it illegally used federal agents to evade state #forfeiture protections. 🧵

Please let your U.S. Representative know you support the FAIR Act, HR 1525, which substantially reforms federal #CivilForfeiture laws.
FAIR eliminates federal profit incentive, ends "#EquitableSharing," & nixes abusive administrative #forfeiture process.

Please support the FAIR Act, HR1525, which would end some of the most abusive aspects of federal #CivilForfeiture, incl. #EquitableSharing.
"The equitable sharing program simply allows local & state law enforcement to evade state law."

PLEASE CALL OR EMAIL your U.S. representative & ask them to support HR 1525, the FAIR Act.
It reforms federal #CivilForfeiture laws by sending #forfeiture proceeds to the General Fund + ending both federal "#EquitableSharing" & administrative forfeiture.

The best opportunity to reform federal #CivilForfeiture in a very long time is the bipartisan FAIR Act, which passed out of House Judiciary 26-0 in June.
It removes the profit incentive, ends “#EquitableSharing”, & eliminates administrative #forfeiture.

Exposé on highway robberies done by @DHSgov #taskforce in Nebraska highlights need for FAIR Act #forfeiture reforms.
FAIR Act would end the federal #EquitableSharing loophole used to circumvent state law.
Seward County got $7.1M in "equitable sharing" 💰

This could potentially be major progress towards curtailing #CivilAssetForfeiture.
If passed, it would end #EquitableSharing, which would allow the robust protections of Missouri law to function as originally intended.
🚨BIG civil forfeiture news.
Today, the House Judiciary Committee will hold a markup on the FAIR Act, a bill from @RepRaskin & @RepWalberg that would make major reforms to the federal forfeiture process. @IJ
A 🧵on what these reforms would mean

Thanks to @IJ for leading in support of the #FAIRAct to reform #civilassetforfeiture. We at @RSI are glad to join @ACLU, @AFPhq, @ceidotorg, @iDueProcess, @PoliceForReform, @NACDL, @NTUF, and others in support of reforming #CAF and ending #equitablesharing.https://t.co/pOaoNhmKGb
"The federal equitable sharing program is especially pernicious, said @DanAlban, because it incentivizes state and local police to bypass state laws by sending forfeitures through federal agencies in order to keep more of the proceeds."

"it's a very thin thread that connects what these task forces are doing to the federal government," Alban said. "And it seems to be a way to deliberately circumvent state law."

"And @USAO_Kansas is trying to confiscate $165,620 that a local #sheriff seized a year ago from an Empyreal armored car that was transporting the cash for medical #marijuana businesses in Missouri, a state that has legalized medical pot"

An important leap for all humankind. UN declaring Clean & Healthy #environment an essential #HumanRight is HUGE for environmental protection & #VulnerableCommunities. Here’s to better #GlobalStandards, bolder #ClimateLitigation & #EquitableSharing of #ClimateChange consequences.
How do we stop federal #forfeiture abuse?
Congress must end #PolicingforProfit by passing bipartisan #FAIR Act, co-sponsored by @RepWalberg & @RepRaskin.
H.R. 2857 would end bad financial incentives driving abuse, eliminate #EquitableSharing, & more.

Government seizes billions in cash from air travelers without ever filing a criminal charge https://t.co/oMD4splnuQ
@ConLawWarrior Also, the federal #EquitableSharing loophole allows state & local law enforcement officers to IGNORE state law on #CivilForfeiture, e.g., #Missouri's laws (B+ from @IJ!) that require a criminal conviction & don't allow police to keep #forfeiture proceeds.

#CivilForfeiture is a "pernicious procedure," says @SteveForbesCEO, citing @IJ's Steven Lara (@USMC vet) #forfeiture case & stats from #PolicingForProfit report.
Forbes calls for end to federal #EquitableSharing program!

"The Nevada Highway Patrol later laundered the loot by allowing the Drug Enforcement Agency to 'adopt' the seizure through a program known as #EquitableSharing."

EDITORIAL: Civil asset #forfeiture horror story shows need for #reform https://t.co/y2ctOLzjNg
@justinamash Pres. Biden should suspend ENTIRE #EquitableSharing program, not just adoptive seizures.
Adoptions make up small % of equitable sharing #forfeitures—just 17% by value from 2000-2015, when AG @EricHolder suspended adoptions. Other 83% are from joint task forces.
