asset seizure without criminal charges IS theft. imagine i did that to you, what would you consider it to be? it doesn't change if the police do it. if a cop hires a prostitute he is still committing a crime. if a cop kills someone he is committing a crime. if a cop rapes someone he is committing a crime, and if a cop takes someone's stuff than he is committing a crime. in the case of cops taking people's stuff with no criminal charge, the cop is committing armed robbery. cases like this should be tried as armed robbery, and cops who do it should be sent to prison for armed robbery. and they very much did bring a gun to that robbery, and it should be treated as such.
