Contributing sentiments towards policy:

49% : Because many low-income and minority people don't have bank accounts, they use cash and become easy prey for law enforcement.
42% : What Rolin didn't realize was that he had more to fear from law enforcement than from banks.
40% : But a huge loophole often remains: To get around state law, local police can partner with federal law enforcement in a forfeiture case and get up to 80% back as a kind of finder's fee.
38% : Forfeiture is one more reason many law-abiding citizens fear and distrust law enforcement.
