One of the more obvious examples of institutionalized corruption today.
Oh, BTW, it's fallen into some disfavor, but after Jeff Sessions recused himself from the Trump matter, handing it to weasel Rosenstein, one of his first initiatives was to try to re-institute civil asset forfeiture, with "appropriate safeguards." Spit.
Not all seizures are unreasonable. Develop Probable Cause , get it approved by management and a DA or Assistant US Attorney. Then seize. I always knew when I appropriately seized Drug Money. The next day I would get a call from an attorney, almost apologising for taking the case. His job was to appeal the matter tying up counsel to make it administratively impossible for our attorneys to do other work. Case closed.
Why Did Arizona Democrats Kill a Bill Protecting Citizens From Police Overreach?
Because they know cops will support them when it really counts.
Lacking a conviction, it’s just legalized theft by the government.
It seems surreal that after all this time, after all the cursing and vituperation poured out on FR and a thousand other forums, after all the legal wrangling that has proved beyond any doubt the utter unconstitutionality of civil asset forfeiture we're still talking about this monstrous abuse in the present tense.
Personally, I'm done blaming corrupt politicians for this "legal" atrocity. The people who need to be brought to account for this are the imbecile voters who put them there in the first place. Please don't even dare talk to me about the need for revenue; next time I see you in a dark alley I may just use that argument for knocking you over and walking off with your wallet!
McCain still controlling from the grave with the communist Democrats. Arizona rats will always support communists.
