See what happens when someone’s budget gets cut?
It is theft.
FBI is a criminal domestic terrorist organization. Jury nullification against all FBI cases. The presumption is that FBI fabricated, bullied witnesses and violated defendants rights.
Vote no against FBI in all federal cases if on federal jury.
These FBI agents should really be in prison.
The warrant specifically said they were to inventory but could not confiscate anything in the boxes. Nothing.
They expressly DID NOT inventory and confiscated everything they could get their grubby mitts on.
They are now telling the owners that they can have some of their stuff back (because the FBI says they LOST it) if they will sign part of it over to the government.
However bad you think this was, it is far worse.
“Rank and file are good guys.”
There are no limits to tyranny...
There is no end in sight!
The FBI is one of the largest criminal organizations in the country.
Hard to believe this particular story hasn’t played out. I recall when news broke about them stealing the property of all these people. They made almost no effort at all to document anything. It was just simple theft. I wonder how much gold walked away in the thieve’s pockets.
In a couple of my social dealings with cops or district attorneys of my acquaintance back in the 90s, I learned that taking “nickel bags” or other seized property from the “evidence closet” was considered a perk, or a fund-raiser.
the government seizes money or other property believed to be linked to a crime
= = =
Was that currency from the Fed Bank? If so it is linked to a crime, de facto.
So, if I have a tungsten bar, and have it painted gold, and it is locked in my SDB,
Will they prosecute me for fraud and deception?
Oh, probably only after they carry it out and try to cash it.
