” I’m glad I don’t live in Carroll County. “
This has been going on for years at all levels of government... (”60 Minutes” ran a segment on it at least ten years ago)
They can confiscate your property without convicting - or even charging - you with a crime — just the allegation that you *might* be committing a criminal act is sufficient.
(The ‘legal fiction’, as it was explained to me, once, is that, while you might be innocent, your property is the guilty party, and property per se has no rights under the Constitution)
Thank the War On Drugs for this one....
yeah....Great success..that War on Drugs...Yeesh...now lets just make alcohol illegal. THAT should be fun!( two days before football season starts!)
Actually no.
This crap predates the war on drugs.
It is simple corruption and would not even decrease even a little if drugs were legalized.
There would simply be a new excuse.
