The parent said civil forfeiture was wrong—he seems to agree with you, but he’s making a different point that keeping your life’s savings in your car is a bad idea for many other reasons besides civil forfeiture.

> There are far better examples of abusive civil forfeiture than this one.

To me that implies that this is less abusive than other cases. I don't agree.

That’s fine, but that’s a different argument than your comment:

> How is it not abusive regardless? Doing something "stupid" is not a crime.

You both transparently agree that it is abusive regardless and that doing something stupid is not a crime.
