My tagline.
Take your cash, take your car, shoot your dog and colonoscopies even when DWW, DWB, DWA.
Cant let them pot heads do what they want though! Fall in line citizensubject! The Police state commands it!
Funny stuff. I welcome the author to 1988.
A small town near here made literally millions of dollars stopping cars on the interstate by a HiPo friend of the judge whenever the driver looked “suspicious”. They did score some big drug busts, but what they really wanted was the cash. They have a nice new county courthouse and a fancy new “Law Enforcement Center” next to it.
Bump!
The Institute for Justice has been fighting the search and seize method for a while, where cops consider anything you do suspicious.
Tenaha was particularly bad because they took one kid from the parents while incarcerating the adults a few nights, and threatened others with taking the kid at traffic stops by saying if you don’t sign over the money, we seize it and put you both in jail as drug offenders.
I’ve agreed with your tagline for years.
I’m for demilitarizing the police. the war on drugs was the fictitious story to militarize cops. if they had actually used swat on what they sold it to us on, gangs would be decimated, their gang houses in flames and pieces, and their would be raids anywhere the gangs were residing until they were locked up or dead. And if new gangs came in swat would go after them full force. This is not what swat has done. so we know that’s been a lie.
I’m also for keeping illegal drugs illegal.
I’m assuming that ending the war on drugs is a separate issue than legalizing pot, coke and heroin, and meth.
Laws like this turn our police forces into organized crime, and then we give them awards based on how much they steal.
“Commoners do not need large sums of money. It makes them think above their station.”
Very telling about the state of our Nation. When they run out of legal forfeitures
they'll invent them and plant drugs. Yes they can and nobody can stop the Law.
I was thinking today, what if you called the police and they said they
were not coming, and wouldn't help. Then told you that you would be arrested
if you were assaulted and defended yourself. The Police have no legal
obligation to come to the aid of any person. Now if it were profitable, yes.
I’m under no obligation to fit the mold of “the common people”, and no gov’t agent has the authority to steal my property without due process.
Unbelievable that this could be allowed to happen in this country. And to think that we look with disdain across our southern border at the police practices there.
Had ENOUGH Yet ?
I feel safer already! :)
They’ll do it in CO without any drug or illegality involvement. It has nothing to do with drugs.
When I bought my airplane in 1981 I took $68,000 to pay the balance owed so I could fly it home.

I would immediately open a business disposing of bodies that citizens did not want reported to the police. I’ll bet in 30 days I could retire.
