House, Senate bills introduced to make it harder for cops to take your stuff

I'm seeing a trend where the practice of asset forfeiture (where law enforcement confiscates your stuff even if you haven't been accused of a crime) is getting a lot of attention. The Daily Show did a piece recently. Rand Paul introduced a reform bill in the Senate about a week ago, proposing a higher burden of proof and removing the profit incentive. Looks like a similar bill has just been introduced in the House.



Finally, some action from Congress I can get behind. Way to go!
