the issue is the states. they are government actors.
it is very much abused at the state level.
So let me give you an example.
I am a cop and you are speeding. I pull you over. You are on a vacation or something but have a bit of cash on you.
depending on the state i can detain you an question you over the cash.
i can then proceed to charge you with some kind of trafficking (whether i have evidence or not for it).
I can then proceed to take your cash and your car and send them to the state police or city police slush fund
for use.
now you can fight your case and you win.
the chances of you getting your car back ok.
chances of you getting your cash well a different story without a lot of legal and court cases
probably costing more money than what i took from you to begin with.
do you not seen an issue with that?
