We continue to sacrifice our police departments to corruption, our Bill or rights to expediency, our sense of justice to our moral outrage. When will drugs simply be legalized?

New Mexico and Nebraska should be the model for every other state to follow on this matter.

Good God!!
Sheriff Knottingham...!
If all as presented these “officers of the law” should be hung along the highways and left to rot.
Sounds like they were using the assets of these people as their own personal pawn shop.
That asset forfeiture is FANTASTIC!
What do you mean by that ?
Here are some pics of a '65 Chevy Nova. They show one in the article, but I don't think it's the actual one seized, but rather one from some "wiki" website.
Horrid. I try to stay away from Saginaw. Democrats.
“When police have a pecuniary interest in the property rights of others there will be overreaching on behalf of the police”
Cops- You don’t have to love ‘em.
The Chevy Nova is a classic muscle car?
My first car was the Pontiac-badged version. It had some nice V8 power, but I would not exactly call it a “muscle car”.
Charge the entire police department under RICO laws. See how they like being on the receiving end.
Back In The 60s a Chevy dealer named Don Yanko shoe horned L-72 Chevy 427 engines into Chevy 2 novas. Others followed. Later he put blown 350s in them.
Muscle Car, fits the description of these particular cars. Don’t know what the complainant’s car had.
The Nova SS is a classic muscle car. The early ones because they’re great examples of the early no-frills performance models, and the later ones because they make great bases for customizing. So far as I know, there are no 4-door SS musclecars, only coupes/convertibles. One of my cousin’s friends had a mid-70s Nova that was built up to the point that he would take people for rides, put a $10 bill on the dash and tell them that once he started accelerating they could keep the money if they could reach it; he never lost the money.
Actually the mainstream Nova’s were granma/granpa cars.
Long time no see. Where have you been?
Civil forfeiture laws need to go.
Just as there should be no assessment of civil liability in ANY instance relating to a crime unless there is an actual conviction for that crime (which, incidentally, utterly eliminates being liable without being responsible).
Moreover, all civil liabilities not relating to the commission of a crime should be limited to monetary damages: no P&S or punitive damages should be permitted.
Cops drove a 1965 Nova 54,000 miles in a year?
Geez, that doesn't leave much time to stop for doughnuts...
Criminal theft with a badge and a gun, AND the blessing of the court.
