This is only a change in federal procedures, as in civil asset forefeiture will continue to happen, but police will have to file under state laws, which allows police to take less than what this federal law allowed.

The police are still taking and keeping assets, but using state instead of federal law to legitimate it now.

this just reduces the federal % they can take and makes it slightly more difficult to use the federal route, right? the title is just plain wrong.
