THANKS FOR SHINING LIGHT ON A SHAMEFUL PRACTICE

Re: "Forfeiture law stacked against Louisiana property owners" (June
22): Thank you for lighting a candle on the shameful, dark practice
of my colleagues to go around state law to seize property from
citizens. Worse, we now focus more on drug dealers than rapists,
child molesters and those possessing child porn. Why? Because we can
only take money from drug dealers, not pedophiles.

Over the past 40 years of drug prohibition/war on drugs, my profession
has become addicted to the $70 billion in tax dollars you give us
every year. Even that is not enough, as Dr. Fraser pointed out so well.

When will we become as wise as our grandparents and repeal our
prohibition?
