The ONLY thing I ever agreed on with Eric Holder was eliminating civil forfeiture. It is criminal. And remember this when people shout, “back the blue.”

I believe you are thinking of Pitt Bulls, aka American Stafforshire Terriers. American bulldogs are an AKC breed that are not bred for fighting, and are beautiful dogs. Had one myself, “Tank” was a sweet boy.

California is pure WOKE about pet breeding or grooming. The ladies should go to Arizona. I understand therewill be a new governor with common sense

Well you know the old saying...

STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES!

Legitimate business does business through banks and other such entities.

Doesn’t seem like it is a family pet type.

Is an American Bully the same as a Pitbull?

The American Bully is not a Pitbull but a cross between 3 Pitbull-type dog breeds, alongside bloodlines from breeds like the Old English Bulldog or Mastiffs.

American bulldogs are usually white and resemble a boxer on steroids. Cool dogs

Louisianna State Troopers used to stake out sections of I-10 and pull vehicles over.If one had more than pocket money on them. It was confiscated it. Other State Police probably did it on I-95 and I-75 too. Mexican fruit pickers traveled with large amounts of cash on them because they did not trust banks. The Police made a lot of money at this.

A violation of the 4th, 5th, 8th, and 14th Amendments. Hopefully, our conservative Supreme Court will ban civil forfeiture.

Certainly is. I have no problem with asset forfeiture as long as there is a trial and conviction. Otherwise. it is blatant theft. Hopefully, a good case is on its way to the Supreme Court.

There’s something that doesn’t pass the smell test here, and it’s not the marijuana I’m talking about. Pet breeders are in the business of breeding their particular breed of cat or dog because they love the breed and want to produce offspring featuring the best qualities of both parents—not just to make money. As a matter of fact, most breeders who do it right don’t make money or don’t make much. For these women to insist on dealing with cash instead of credit cards or checks is highly suspicious-—like they didn’t want to be traceable. That they chose a breed commonly used in dogfighting is another red checkmark. So I think they were trying to open a dogfighting facility or breed dogs to fight. There are so many pitbulls and American bullies in shelters; why would they want to create more in a wholesale fashion?

First mistake was assuming the “FEDEX” caller was really from FedEx.

Second mistake was telling the caller what was actually in the package.

Third mistake was not wrapping the money in aluminum foil so it can’t be X-rayed. I learned this just a few weeks ago.

As much as I disagree with these seizures, I can’t see why these chicks didn’t send a check.

It is a lame excuse.

Its admittedly known you can find traces of drugs on much of the paper money in circulation.

The US Attorney should have still charged every last government employee involved with multiple FELONIES of Theft, Grand Theft....Then SEIZED THEIR ASSETS as fruits of a Criminal Enterprise

Drug possession laws enabled police to search anyone at will. Police just have to say they “smelled pot” and no way to prove otherwise. Even if they don’t find anything, they can still imprison you at will and steal all your property by planting a tiny fungible package.

WOD has been an absolute failure and all it has done is open a barn door for the state to abuse our most fundamental rights.

Thankfully such madness is becoming a thing of the past in many places...

“civil forfeiture”

It’s an evil, vile concept: Legalized theft by government.

The only have to SUSPECT the money is tied to illegal activity. And they “suspect” that every dollar that they find is tied to drugs. And there is literally nothing to deter them except a civil lawsuit that holds no one responsible because the person who seized it won’t have to pay it back.
