At some point in the past 10 or 15 years, Minnesota (I think) passed a law barring police in that state from doing so.
The police didn't stop... they just filed it under the federal civil forfeiture program, took their 80% cut and it continued.
So stopping the federal program will let states fix this, when until now it was futile to try.
