Yes, how could I have neglected to cite that sucker!

Eh it's a fair omission. The war on drugs has only fueled the civil forfeiture issue, as it's a commonly pointed to reason by officers why they think someone carrying an excess of cash is up to no good: "We suspect this money is connected to a drug operation".

I don't know if there's a term for it, but if anyone knows or can coin something on the spot to describe the phenomenon where the Drug War and other aspects of American criminal law has invariably irritated smaller undressed wounds within the criminal justice system and caused them to open up as larger festering problems that probably wouldn't have seen as much widespread public attention otherwise-outside of specialized legal communities and advocacy circles.

Examples of what I mean are, as mentioned Drug War -> Civil Forfeiture, PATRIOT Act -> Due Process for War Detainees, Snowden -> Due process for surveillance investigations, etc.
