Supremes to decide on police powers to take, keep assets

The U.S. Supreme Court has announced it will make a decision on the power police have to confiscate property such as cars, jewelry and cash from private citizens – and keep it.

The Rutherford Institute is reporting that it has joined with the ACLJ and the Cato Institute in a friend-of-the-court brief in the case Culley v. Marshall.

The groups are arguing “against the government’s use of delaying tactics in asset forfeiture proceedings which make it difficult for individuals innocent of any wrongdoing to timely recover their property—especially cars and cash—seized by police who stand to profit from the forfeiture.”
