There was massive abuse of this law before and now there will be again. It turns law enforcement into criminals. They were scandals in many, many small towns that tourists would visit at different times of the year. The local police would spot an expensive motor home going down the road, make up an excuse to pull it over, do whatever was necessary to talk there way inside, and of course find drugs while inside planted by them and wala they now own your $100,000.00 motor home. Auction it off and divy up the money, sometimes with Judges and Prosecutors. That is why the law was abandoned. And now we will see the same thing as before. US citizens being robbed by law enforcement. Also Sessions reinstated mandatory sentencing which was outlawed because of abuse by prosecutors.
Moving backwards instead of forward under Republican rule. Sessions himself needs to be prosecuted for lying under oath which is a criminal act.
