In the meeting between DeRay McKesson and Bernie Sanders, there were a few issues that the Campaign Zero group wanted to see addressed in Bernie's racial justice platform. One critical example was highlighting the issue of civil asset forfeiture:
There is now a section devoted to civil asset forfeiture in Bernie's racial justice platform that was not there previously:
In many cities all over our country, the incentives for policing are upside down. Departments are bringing in substantial sums of revenue by seizing the personal property of people who are suspected of criminal involvement. So-called civil asset forfeiture laws allow police to take property from people even before they are charged with a crime, much less convicted of one. Even worse, the system works in a way that make it nearly impossible for an innocent person to get her property back. We must end programs that not only permit, but actually reward officials for seizing assets without a criminal conviction or other lawful mandate. Departments and officers should not profit off of such seizures.
This was definitely not a part of the original racial justice platform (see cache
here.)
Bernie is listening.
