If there is one area we need to change it's asset forfeitures. If you are found to have ANY amount of money on you and maybe a nice car ( or even not a nice car) the government can just simply declare it ill-gotten gains through drugs and take them from you. From that point on, you have to prove you are NOT a drug dealer or user (having to prove a negative). Chances are you will NEVER see your money or belongings again.
These laws need to change. Quickly.
