Police budgets utilize suspected illegal activity and the drug trade to pad their budgets. Departments will forego stopping the flow of drugs into the country in order to confiscate the proceeds on their way back. A cocaine bust is great but it just gets destroyed, the millions of dollars seized after a sale can go right into their coffers.

It doesn’t stop there of course, and police can take any property they want with little recourse for those affected. A person doesn’t even have to be charged with a crime to have their property stolen and qualified immunity ensures the police will not be held responsible if you are innocent and try to sue. A study mentioned in a link below states “90% of civil forfeitures do not include criminal charges”.
