The state motto is great, sad that they're probably going to change it to something in English that isn't as threatening

Reply to comment by PabloX68 in Exonerees in Mass. state drug lab scandal want their seized property and money back by ak47workaccnt
It’s because of the nonsense of jurisdiction “in rem”; the government isn’t taking from you, it’s accusing the item itself
Which is nonsense, but common law says that if you do nonsense long enough it’s fine

We need a state constitutional amendment to ban this practice
Ideally a federal one but that seems unobtainable
