Civil forfeiture is something both sides agree is unconstitutional and wrong. Why has it taken so long to ban it and hold people accountable?

After the police agencies in California threw such a fit that the courts made concealed carry 'shall' issue, the government threw such a fit that they wholesale published the names, addresses, and DROS details of everyone in California with a CCW, including say DV victims that might be in hiding and even hilariously judges and prosecutors [].

They tried to make it sound like a 'leak', but it was published on a polished government website that let you filter and aggregate the results.

How much of that was the police and how much of that was the politicians? Because the politicians were pretty pissed off about that too.
