For our Viewpoints series, Daryl James and Adam Linthicum argue that police dogs are being misused in civil forfeiture cases, where law enforcement agencies can seize property without a criminal conviction, often based on dubious K9 alerts. This practice not only undermines legal integrity but also leads to the mistreatment of the dogs involved. The two colleagues from the Institute for Justice advocate for the abolition of civil forfeiture, highlighting the need for more ethical and constitutionally sound practices in law enforcement.
