The Mission Texas police chief is being criticized because he gave away items acquired through civil asset forfeiture during holiday parties. Chief Leo Longoria allowed the items, worth several thousand dollars, to be used as door prizes for the police department and city workers' Christmas parties. Texas state law requires such property to be donated or sold, and the money deposited in city coffers. KGBT-TV first reported the story in December, after several Mission police officers said they felt Longoria had acted improperly. Those officers accused Longoria of creating perverse incentives for officers, who now might expect to benefit from property seizures. The County District Attorney called the decision "a mistake" In all, five TVs, two pressure washers, seven video game consoles and numerous other items were given away at the two parties, according to police records. The Chief said "Maybe, in retrospect, now we won't do it again. Only because of the perception." http://www.themonitor.com/articles/mission-46071-poor-items.html ----------------------------
