And I am assuming you don't have any credible data to back that claim up?

First result on google for civil forfeiture. Followed up by searching for [law enforcement agency] and union returns zero results for the worst locations.

Police officers are unionized pretty much everywhere. Sheriffs, which carry out the most egregious civil asset forfeitures (usually in small travel-through towns), generally are not unionized outside of the big counties and states.

Your argument doesn't rebut mine.

Mine: Unions have a direct, negative influence on the ability for departments/cities to fire bad cops.

Yours: There is correlation, but not causation, between non-unionized police departments and instances of civil asset forfeiture.

You're the one making the causal claim that unions are responsible for this. You need to prove your claim; I've already provided evidence that would refute the argument you would make.
