Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: Civil Forfeiture (HBO)

John Oliver exposes the fact that the police force in the US are basically allowed to steal whatever they want from civilians, even if the civilians aren’t charged with a crime, known as “civil forfeiture.” When it comes to “civil forfeiture” the office seizing your belongings only have to suspect that your PROPERTY is the slightest bit involved in a crime. They don’t even have to be proven guilty! The police forces are allowed to keep most to all of the money confiscated.
