<p>Ilyas and Jamie take a break from the drug lab to do a deep dive into what drives the state to fight their war on drug addicted people.  Civil Assist Forfeiture is just a new rendition of the ancient practice of state run overlords using force backed by unfair laws to harass and steal from poor people.   </p><p>Ilyas traces the practice back to the Magna Carta but it certainly predates that.  Today police use the principal to take money from the people who the arrest for drug use and distribution to take all of their cash, cars and property.  This cash is then used to buy things that don't need to be approved by legislative bodies or reported at all.  Boston was caught using this money to buy face recognition technology and placing cameras around the city to spy on its citizens.  </p>
