[QUOTE="_CY_, post: 2733750, member: 7629"] Civil asset forfeiture bill signed into law by Gov. Susana Martinez April 10, 2015 Gov. Susana Martinez does not like the term policing for profit, but she still signed into law today a measure aimed at barring law enforcement from seizing money, cars or other types of property from people on civil grounds during an arrest or traffic stop on suspicion the property was connected to a crime. The civil asset forfeiture legislation, House Bill 560, was approved unanimously by both the New Mexico House and Senate but Martinez did not act on the measure until today, her final day to sign or veto bills passed during the 60-day session. In an executive message explaining her decision to sign the bill, Martinez said that as a former prosecutor she understands the importance of protecting constitutional rights and innocent property owners.
