Sessions likes Civil Asset Forfeiture too much. I don't think giving police the power to confiscate money and property from innocent people is a good idea.
Yep, those innocent people, like my cousin and her boyfriend. For years my sister and me were in awe of the lifestyle she posted on Facebook. She supposedly worked for a company in a secretarial position, but every day on her FB page it was party after party drinking like crazy. Then the fab trips to Ireland and Europe began to come in. My sister and I just could not believe her life was just so grand, yet the photos were hard to deny. To be honest, we were quite jealous but secretly we guessed it had to be drugs. Finally after about 6 years of this, she dropped off the face of the world social wise. My sister asked how she was to our aunt, and she quietly said, well she gets out of jail in about two years. Seems she was selling drugs and mailing it all over the US, there was no secretary job, just her and her boyfriend selling drugs and living the high life. She lost quite a few things, but should she of got to keep the fruits of her ill gain? No I don't think so, but some will say it was innocent gains taken from her, she just got caught doing it one time. Often when you dig into these articles of the "innocent" it is far from "innocent".
That said, Jeff Sessions did admit that having such powers does need supervision. He made a oversight commission just for that purpose. But innocent I have yet to see as you claim.
