YES! It goes way further than this case where an asset was seized to cover a fine for an actual crime (though the asset in this case far exceeded the fine, as is the basis of the case). Actual Civil Asset Forfeiture includes the taking of anything you have without even being charged with any crime. And, it just ain't right!  In our state, state troopers actually carry credit/debit/gift card scanners to take anything on them as well. Cash? Forget it. If you're carrying any amount of cash if can be forfeited for no reason. Can't quite see how anyone interested in law and justice could support this scheme.
