If you want to change our civil forfeiture laws, contact your local & state representatives. Find your State legislator It's the only way it will ever change.

I contacted James Arciero about it almost a year ago. This was his office's response:

>Civil asset forfeiture seems to be an issue whose time has come and gone. We do not see any momentum for its increased use as a tool of law enforcement.

Unfortunately he had no primary challenger last election. Plus I took it to mean that he doesn't really have the pull in the statehouse to get anything done about it.

Hi again! I was thinking about this comment on an older thread while writing this. In your case, I wonder if contacting the party itself would have any impact.
