Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt called for reforms to state's civil asset forfeiture laws.
Stitt : "It's crazy to me that somebody can be pulled over and have their cash and truck taken for an alleged crime, but they still never get their property back" The comments are notable because Oklahoma is part of a shrinking group of states that has yet to overhaul their forfeiture statutes.
