👩🏼Wait, the civil asset part is made up right?
🧔🏿♂️No, that's totally real.
👩🏼OK, but they can't just like, pull you over and take your money if you can prove that it's yours, right?
🧔🏿♂️No, they can.
👩🏼OK, but like... that doesn't happen very often in real life right?
🧔🏿♂️No, it happens a lot. Cops steal more through civil asset forfeiture than all other forms of burglary combined. Mostly from poor Black folk, as depicted in the movie.
