Civil forfeiture is a highly controversial form of generating revenue that cash-strapped local governments have had to resort to. Please read the articles and watch the short video I posted in Blackboard, and write a fictional letter to the editor of your local newspaper expressing your views of civil_forfeiture. I need no more than one page, double-spaced. Feel free to express a view on civil forfeiture but make sure you ground your opinions on fact. Please address the following points in the course of your letter.

1. Where does civil_forfeiture originate?

2. Why do local governments resort to civil_forfeiture?

3. Why do some feel that the application of civil_forfeiture is unfair?

4. What are some possible reforms to civil_forfeiture? In what way does political culture contribute?

Please make sure you submit your letters to Turnitin as you usually would do.
