AFP-MN State Director Jason Flohrs issued the following statement:

“The legislature made an important initial effort during the last special session to reform the criminal justice system, and Americans for Prosperity is dedicated to ongoing efforts to ensure our institutions provide equal justice for every Minnesotan under the law. We believe the reform package the Judiciary Committee discussed today will focus law enforcement’s use of civil asset forfeiture on individuals who pose a legitimate threat to public safety and will better safeguard the civil liberties and constitutional rights of Minnesotans.

“We’re excited to work with legislators to continue the important work of addressing structural barriers to good policing like civil asset forfeiture, and we will continue to educate Minnesotans on the need for further justice reforms.”
