Lawmakers debate asset forfeiture reform in Kansas
The Kansas House considers a bill to curb civil asset forfeiture practices. Proponents led by Rep Finney argue seizures harm innocent people like Barbara Reese, a Topeka woman whose $17,660 was seized in 1995 but never charged. Opponents say forfeiture funds aid law enforcement and that due process exists via judicial proceedings.
