Are Corporate Mercenaries Involved In Asset Forfeiture?

Some U.S. mercenary and security corporations have greatly expanded into intelligence gathering. Consequently there might be more money made by private army corporations participating in "Asset Forfeitures” as a result of utilizing and sharing domestic intelligence information with police, than being private soldiers.

As noted in the above article: Provisions in passed HR 1658 “The Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act of 2000” and the Patriot Act appear to have opened the door for government-contractors to get involved with the U.S. Government forfeiting billions of dollars in assets, perhaps from even American Citizens using “federal civil asset forfeiture laws.” Under civil forfeiture laws, no one need be charged with a crime for government to take their property. There are a couple hundred U.S. laws and violations included in HR. 1658 and the Patriot Act that can subject property to civil asset forfeiture.”
