One Store’s Decision to Leave San Francisco over Crime

I think the rest of the developed world provides good evidence that you can punish people for crimes without abusing civil asset forfeiture. It's pretty bad-faith to conflate the two.

We’re talking about America where it is part of policing by policy and norm

Except that's just not true. The US has thousands of mostly independent police departments. Some use civil asset forfeiture (fewer, now that the supreme court has stepped in). Many don't.

What a small town in Alabama does has no connection with what the SFPD does.
