This article describes how a Michigan city attempts, successfully, to finance its police department through threats of asset forfeiture.
"Wayne County, where Highland Park is located, has an aggressive asset forfeiture program, particularly for cars. It seized more than 2,600 vehicles between 2017 and 2019, raking in more than $1.2 million in asset forfeiture revenues, according to public records obtained by the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, a free market Michigan think tank."
In as much as asset forfeiture seems likely to survive into at least the short term future, it behooves any American that believes in the principles of freedom to stay out of Wayne County, Michigan and refuse to purchase any products manufactured or distributed from that place.
A parent of a prospective USHL hockey player may want to reconsider sending their boy to the USA Hockey National Team Development Program since it is located in Plymouth, Michigan, a city in Wayne County, Michigan. The Ford Motor Company is a leading employer in Livonia, MI. You might wish to purchase an automobile built somewhere else. The Detroit Metropolitan Airport is located in Romulus, MI. You might wish to think twice about arriving or leaving from that facility or visiting the Detroit area at all.
When "cancel culture" is meant to affect a particular individual it has a very limited effect. Cancelling an entire county could result in a re-assessment of its asset forfeiture policies.
