Feels like an OT baller move by the cops, and it only seems to happen to trashy people.

It’s terrible and gives cops incentive to make shite up so they can get your stuff.

We can seize your property without a criminal conviction, even if the owner of said property had no knowledge it was used in furtherance of criminal activity. The Land of the Free! Cops only have our best interest at heart!

Let me tell you a story...
quote:
In the East Texas town of Tenaha, the district attorney oversaw a particularly Dickensian operation: Local cops would stop out-of-town drivers on the flimsiest of pretexts to look for cash, DVD players, cell phones, anything of value. The DA would threaten drivers with criminal charges, even promising to have state authorities remove kids from parents unless they waived rights to the property.
A class-action lawsuit uncovered that the proceeds from this highway robbery—an estimated $3 million between 2006 and 2008—were paying for popcorn machines, donations to a local Baptist church and bonuses for law enforcement key to the operation. Meanwhile, the DA was handing out light sentences to those caught with drugs, or laundered money, in exchange for seizing their assets.

I don't think theft by cop qualifies as an OT baller move.

The main reason I despise Sessions, don’t care how MAGA he is

Unwarranted search and seizure.

Was expecting something different when I read the article.
Civil asset forfeiture the way it is often used now is BS. In theory it's ok but then you involve our government.
