What you think or judge the person was going to do with the 17k is irrelevant. The fact is that you whined about all the examples being 'criminal acts' and I give you examples where absolutely no criminal act was committed and you are still not pleased. Moving the goalposts now?Going to buy kitchen equipment with $17,550 in cash. Sure he was.
The second was a criminal act. Do you really want these guys living next door?
The second example Also had no criminal act. The third one did - a 40 dollar drug charge for a person THAT DID NOT OWN THE PROPERTY. They did not commit the act on the property either nor was the property involved in the drug purchase. Do I want them to live next door? I would prefer them over you. Who you want living next door is also completely irrelevant, more moving of those goalposts I see. You don't get to determine who lives next door unless you are willing to move. It is not your damn business who decides to purchase and voluntarily live there. They followed the law. It is duly noted though that you think someone that purchase 40 dollars worth of pot should have their property stripped from them because 'you don't want them to live next door.' You must REALLY hate the poor - they are far more likely to be caught involved in petty and pointless drug crimes and they are the ones that cannot fight or recover from these forfeitures (particularly if it involved homes).
