What prosecutor is a Saint? Interested in logical Justice? Not a ‘Rat?
Philadelphia drops ... to prevent any court from ruling just seizing people’s property is unconstitutional —
So we can’t take a chance that forfeiture will be declared unconstitutional for all the rest of us.
Is that how this pans out?????
Lovely background for stories, but no such law ever existed, at least not in Christian Europe.
Hey, it was in a movie. It must be true.
So they backed off, simply so that they can continue doing the same thing to others.
Very instructive.
excellent, excellent, thank you! The New Yorker, mirabile
dicu had an article about this about a year ago; it was
acceptable but nowhere near as good as this.
I’m not justifying the seizure of their property but the “relative” mentioned in the article was their son and he was dealing heroin.
Why leave out these facts in the article by playing semantic games?
yes... what next?
Here’s an actual INSTRUCTOR, giddily telling the who auditorium exactly how to steal the property of the voters:

The very end is equally amazing; the lecturer says he’s HAPPY for pot legalization, as people are bound to start selling it out of their houses, thereby making their HOMES into easy targets for seizure.
“Then we’ll sell their homes and LIVE LIKE CZARS, maybe..!!”
That’s an exact quote.
During the Middle Ages there were probably lords who did such things, but it was never legal.
Braveheart was one of the least historically accurate movies ever made, a field in which it has considerable competition.

If I was in the audience I would have asked him this question:
“Doesn’t Asset Forfeiture encourage corruption in police departments?”
And watch the A-hole try to justify that.
So this is literally “Highway Robbery” By the state.....
Sounds like JUST LIKE the Sheriff of Nottingham pulled the same sort of crap.

What would have happened should the parents have discovered this before the cops arrested him and chained him in the basement to prevent him from selling drubs, well CPS would have taken the son and then the police Dept would have taken the house....
“This is why we will see a rise in third-party activity for 2016.”
Party?! Third, fourth, fifth party, it won’t matter. Politics is not the solution.
If only that was a crime he could have been arrested and imprisioned for.
The kid doesn’t own the house, therefore they are full of sh1t at its face.
I know... What say the cops take a 747 because there were drugs being smuggled.
I say we throw the Captain and the company ceo in jail for good measure, and take their houses and bank accounts too. Let’s do that.
NO.
“the final stage of the collapse of the Roman Empire” was the establishment’s subsidy of the media.
The same ‘stage’ we have today in America.
The ‘right’ news isn’t free.
