Canadian County, OK — An Oklahoma sheriff
issued a string of misleading statements on Monday while criticizing a
bill that would reign in the state’s abuse of civil asset forfeiture.
Canadian County Sheriff Randall R. Edwards suggested that there is no
violation of constitutional rights when authorities seize cash and
property over alleged drug offenses, even when the person is not
convicted of a crime.
Edwards bluntly stated, “We’re not violating your Fourth Amendment rights” by seizing cash and property from alleged drug dealers, even when they are never convicted of a crime.
