Our new Vice President is a former prosecutor with a long history of fighting to keep demonstrably innocent people in prison on technicalities [1], subverting state mandates requiring the release of nonviolent prisoners [2], and viciously fighting against compensating those she had wrongly imprisoned [3]. She also sought to expand the use of civil asset forfeiture in California [4]. Her record is the very definition of prosecutorial predation and abuse.
So the idea that the Biden/Harris administration will do any better than Trump on any issue involving the restraint of law enforcement is farcical. If anything, they'll expand civil forfeiture, unless the courts keep them in check.
