Quote:Some call it for-profit policing and, in extreme cases, legalized theft.
The technical term is asset forfeiture, a suite of laws that allow police departments to seize money, guns, cars and other property used – or suspected to have been used – in crimes.
An LEX 18 Investigation has uncovered that a state law designed to give oversight of Kentucky asset forfeiture practices is mostly ignored by Kentucky police agencies, which are required to report their drug-related seizures every year under the Kentucky Controlled Substances Act.
According to an Office of Drug Policy report obtained by LEX 18 Investigates, only 63 of about 400 law enforcement agencies filed in Fiscal Year 2014, leaving potentially millions of dollars worth of goods and unaccounted for.
