Oklahoma now seizing money from your bank account via your debit/credit cards

Cash that you have on you is one thing--and even that aspect of civil forfeiture is grossly abused. But this is straight up BS. They can "decide" that the money in your bank account is associated with a crime, w/o a shred of evidence, and seize it? Would love to see this nonsense challenged in court.
and i am guessing that there is someone high up in erad who is in tight with someone high up in the oklahoma state troopers/oklahoma government

Supposedly it's only for prepaid cards, but there are still a lot of reasons for concern I think.
Looks like ERAD is based in Texas.

Our former carpetbagger governor, while still governor, was urging his subordinates to push the products of one of his campaign contributors.
Said carpetbagger is not (yet) in prison, waiting for his appeal.
The current carpetbagger is also under Federal investigation.

Loveless plans to introduce legislation next session that would require a conviction before any assets could be seized.
Well Duh!
Well Duh!
I like how the officer is willing to let us keep our own money if we can PROVE the money is not from illicit means. I think he has it backwards. He should prove a crime occurred before the money is seized.
Totally true. Just having cash convicts you. There are some horrendous stories out there...
And now the 8th circuit court of appeals has made it more legal!

That's total crap. No disrespect, but that may cause some personal problems for the officers if they follow through with this.
