Anyone who thought election of Trump would help keep big brother off your back was naive. Have privacy and Fourth Amendment protections gotten stronger! No! Here's another example.
Republican Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced he was loosening federal controls on asset forfeiture.

The Obama administration made it harder for property to be seized. The proposal is facing much bi-partisan opposition.
