5.0 out of 5 stars Civil Forfeiture Laws, January 15, 2000

Hyde's disclosure of this little understood but heinous law is excellent. As Hyde explains, under civil forfeiture laws your private property can be taken without finding you guilty of anything. Sound unAmerican? You bet! But it is all legal. Hyde clearly discusses the background and current practices and recommends reform in this area.

2.0 out of 5 stars Forfeiting Our Property Rights: Is Your Property Safe, July 12, 2002

This review is from: Forfeiting Our Property Rights: Is Your Property Safe from Seizure? (Paperback)

Hyde obviously wrote this book because some constituent of his, probably as crooked as most politicians got taken to the cleaners. It is the unfortunate dilemma that we are in that people of power can get influenced so. My thoughts are that Henry probably felt he was next in line to get caught by the Feds and he figured he had better do something to limit his liability. Shameful I gave this two stars because he utilized proper english.
