Meanwhile people are spreading lies. And we should discourage that.
It gives them a 90 day grace period to file charges , and "Gang-related crime is not the only crime targeted in the bill. It would also allow seizures for crimes such as arson, bribery, child pornography, gambling and even trafficking endangered species."

I don't really have a problem w that.
