Last week, the Attorney General put an end to the federal law allowing state and local police the power to seize cash and property without warrants or criminal charges.

The Post found that local and state police routinely pulled over drivers for minor traffic infractions, pressed them to agree to warrantless searches and seized large amounts of cash without evidence of wrongdoing. The law allows such seizures and forces the owners to prove their property was legally acquired in order to get it back.

Shameful.
