TIL that you can directly sue money and assets in the US. They are truly first class citizens lol

This is also your daily reminder that civil forfeiture is theft and the US is an authoritarian police state that regularly kills citizens in the street with impunity

Isn't that just an "in rem" action?

Nice this does seem to be the precedent behind it. I did not expect this to have gone back to the 1800s, very cool. 

Its included in the wiki but I feel like civil forfeiture is different because it exists to supersede the judicial system even if eventually settled in court.
