sigh...
I asked to fix this in the House thread:
In addition, the vast majority of civil forfeiture is conducted at the state level, and general law enforcement is not within the constitutional jurisdiction of the federal government, meaning this bill would have little effect, even if passed.
True, so we can pass a bill reforming civil forfeiture at the federal level, and the regions can follow our lead.
but for some reason, it wasn't amended by anyone.
I didn't recognize that as asking for an amendment. I was just assuming that as it was a federal bill concerning criminal justice, this bill would be interpreted as something that applied to federal criminal justice policy.
