Yes, you read the title correctly. Via Forbes:
The good news is that thanks to the excellent work of investigative journalists, this particular case has been brought to light and the police have agreed to stop the entrapment of out of town buyers.
This is a prime example of why civil asset forfeiture, which is targeted at the ordinary rather than drug kingpins, has to be done away with. There's too much incentive for the authorities to abuse the system.
