We've had discussion (since flagged off the front page) of abuse of civil forfeiture.
We've similarly had, in a number of threads, people either shilling for the state security apparatus or talking about the evil jackbooted thugs who are going to kill us and eat our babies. In neither case do we do better than some half-assed anecdotal evidence.
So, I figured it might be worthwhile to actually link to some aggregated reports. Note that the time period spanned by this collection goes back to the 90s in some cases.
