In Segment Two, Mark Warden and Kevin Bloom join us to discuss Civil Asset Forfeiture – the ability of law enforcement to seize and keep your stuff just by claiming it was somehow connected to criminal activity. We discuss abuses, the need for reporting and transparency, and law enforcements opposition to addressing these problems. (Segment 2A has a missing section which you can see here.)

We continue talking about HB 1609 and how it would address issues with the practice (this bill does not deal with Criminal Asset Forfeiture by the way, just civil). We cover the Motel Caswell seizure and court case, and how it exposed law enforcement tactics in abusing civil asset forfeiture; how drug dogs can be trained to pad the pockets of the State, and more. We also brush up against the vote on HB 675 (no Plate scanner in NH), HB 1279 (prohibit Indefinite detention), and the industrial hemp bill, HB153
