Police Use Department Wish List When Deciding Which Assets to Seize

For the first time in around 75 years, the NY Times has done a public service here.

Here's the story the effing New York Times should be covering: Caught on Camera: Obamacare Architect Admits Deceiving Americans to Pass Law...

[dware]

Jackboots gonna jackboot. Nothing to see here. You must be on of those evil “cop haters”, that’s all. /s

[GOPJ]

LOL - yeah EXCEPT the Times is objecting to the story... Remember the story of the two monsters who tortured a young child before he died... a three year old... Everything those two monsters own should be confiscated and what can't be sold should be burned.

I remember a time when cops could not seize anything and there was no such thing as a hate crime and judges did not legislate.

[kosciusko51]

and judges did not legislate.

So you were born before Oliver Wendell Holmes was a judge? j/k

The WOD allows cops to drop a coin-sized package anywhere to take a target's property and take their freedom. Then they laugh as the target is forced to prove they are NOT a dealer and prove the cash they hold is NOT from dealing.

How are so-called conservatives are OK with this legal barn door?

Coming up next - Mandatory government ID to use the internet “to stop pedophiles and protect our children”.

The most disgusting thing about this: for actual hard core drug dealers, this is a stinking TAX that is too easy for authorities to take and then look the other way. They “look tough” but actually are winking and nodding.

If it were forced to go through court, that would stop most such corruption cold.

[GeronL]

pure theft

We need to change laws. The Police Department should not benefit from seizures and seizures should be done in conjunction with a real court.

[GeronL]

CAF should be outlawed. It’s just theft.

[HiTech RedNeck]

And isn’t the Alien and Sedition act even older when it met a court death?

As with many things, sometimes the answers aren’t easy.

[GeronL]

99% or more of those raids are unnecessary

NM Ping.

In one seminar, captured on video in September, Harry S. Connelly Jr., the city attorney of Las Cruces, N.M., called them “little goodies.” And then Mr. Connelly described how officers in his jurisdiction could not wait to seize one man’s “exotic vehicle” outside a local bar.

They’re the thin blue line between private property and privateering.

This is the kind of thing that is eventually going to get police officers strung up.

No, anymore too many of our police agencies are just become unchecked organized crime organizations.
