ASSET SEIZURE RULES NEED TO BE REFORMED

The subject of the editorial "Policing for profit is a growing 
problem" (April 5) walks all over the Fourth and Fifth amendments of 
the Bill of Rights.

Anecdotal stories smack of a police-state mentality where department 
profit-and-loss takes precedence over protections guaranteed by the 
Bill of Rights.

Shoddy administration by police chiefs should be primary concerns of 
City Councils that are charged to protect the taxpayer.
