Maybe, maybe not.
Scary video...you have to love the deputy's comment "if you have nothing to hide..."
Whatever happened in that case?
Highway robbery!
Read John Silvera's comments in the current Backwoods Home :this is no longer the land of the free.
I'd really like to know that myself. The property owner is posting in the comments, as is the apparently neighbor who made the complaint.
Property owner:
You state the property is filthy, , but what makes you think it wasn't being cleaned up? Do you know how long I had owned it? Einstein stated, " Condemnation without Investigation is the height of Ignorance."Possibly the person who made the complaint:
This property is filthy, that is easily seen by the video. Instead of slandering the officials who were sent to resolve the problem, why don't you get off your lazy butt and clean the place up. How can you stand to live in such filth! How can you expect anyone to pay you money for such filth!
Money is not a legal person ... nor should it be.
Hooray for Judge Lay!
Until recently, cash transactions in excess of $10,000 occurred among respectable people (consider that $10,000 could easily fit in a person's wallet) without the government thinking it was any of their business. And 10,000 of the dollars back then would probably be worth $100,000 or more today.
Prohibition II is a massive government power grab. Government creates problems, so it can demand powers to fix them. Of course, the problems keep getting worse (big surprise) so the government needs more power.
Maybe if the government actually wanted to solve problems, they might get solved. But why should it, when it benefits from not doing so?
Lots of federal judges have such brains. For example, the "judge" who ruled against the Bush Administration last week is 74 years old. Now, I love my mother, but I wouldn't trust her to be handing down decisions that are a matter of life and death, or handling anything REAL important.
I'd like to know what the relevant laws are in a case like that. Does a health inspector need a warrant to investigate a property if there is complaint?
I wouldn't think that child protective services would need one if a complaint was made. I wonder if a complaint in situations like this constitutes something like "hot pursuit".
The guy was smart not to try to physically restrain the woman or he would probably be charged with multiple felonies.
I would like to know since when it became illegal to deal in cash?
My grandparents didn't trust banks and pretty much lived their entire lives dealing in cash and money orders.
This is all about government controlling our lives and limiting our freedom.
Maybe he planned to buy a Lamborghini for his mistress. That he's telling an arguably unlikely story is not enough moral basis for taking his money.
Both here and here say that CPS needs a warrant to enter your house without your permission. Those could be state specific though.
Which was why I suggested this as a possible amendment which should prevent these legal shannigans that idiot police departments are doing in order to steal under color of law.
Property shall have the same rights, protections and priviliges as its current owner.
Actually one of the most powerful officers of the law is a game warden. In pursuit of poaching they can do a LOT more than even the most liberal police officer can do.
He appointed the judge who wrote this ruling. His father appointed the other judge who voted for it. (The dissenting judge was appointed by LBJ.)
So if he was guilty, why wasn't he charged with anything?
What ever happened to Sheriff Andy Taylor?
I dunno. It seems to be pretty good at giving the totalitarians the power they want.
Nah. Justice would be a nice big brand in the forhead saying "THIEF".
