[Asset Forfeiture] Police took more stuff from people than burglars did in 2014.

[KLB]

Thanks.

I find your effort lacking.

Perhaps I should rephrase. Do you think the forfeiture process is a benefit to fighting crime? If so, what benefit does it provide?

It no more stops crime than the other laws do.

I have no issue with forfeiture after a conviction. Without a conviction, it is a crock of

Seized two cars and cash in the last 2 weeks.....Sleeping just fine here lately. Looking for number 3 tomorrow night. Meth is bad, large amounts of meth is real bad.

Not only the owners but the other occupants of the vehicles too.

I was on scene of a traffic accident that took place a few years ago. Driver was suspended prior in a vehicle that he did not know who owned it with 40k+ in cash strewn around the interior. Looked like it came out of a shoe box that was laying on the back seat. The most interesting thing happened, no one knew who the cash belonged too and no one ever came to claim it. Weird, almost like it was illegal drug money or something......

Same reason my kids know to do what I say, consequences man...

You give the appearance that you enjoy taking other peoples stuff and avoiding direct questions. I find those qualities concerning for someone who appears to be a sworn LEO.

I do, however, agree that meth is bad.

Could just be a vigilante who only steals from drug dealers.

My post was a joke but now that we're on it is the 'no govt welfare' position at odds with tax exemptions for not for profits?

Though I do appreciate the pink text + the eye roll hah would've been tough to discern the sarcasm without

If they find that Border Patrol acted outside the law then EVERYONE involved in this case on that side should be fired with full loss of any and all benefits.

Wow. Bipartisanship possibly accomplishing something GOOD, for once.

Be real nice if Congress would actually reform forfeiture laws instead of only talking about it.

Relying on the .gov to stop the .gov from stealing from citizens. That will turn out well.

The stupid politicians in Washington need to end this crap once and for all.

Just look at one city: Indy. Look at how many police were CAUGHT ripping off Illegals and drug dealers. 8-10-12? That is just the number caught. NEVER carry a lot of cash, unless your Jim Irsay with $30,000 and 5000 illegal pills, nor keep ANYTHING in your car that could give them a reason to shake you down or rip you off. Sad. I have 5 family members who were LEO's and this kind of activity really honks them off. Police USED to be respected. Now they shake people down, or hide behind cars.

Another facet of Drugs Inc.

Change laws to first offense dealing 10 years, second offense, hanging. Change the system so jail time and money aren't just the cost of doing business on the illegal side of Drugs Inc.

This has nothing to do with police ripping people off. This is about legally taking property from people that have not been convicted of a crime.

You can go ahead and **** off. It is abundantly clear that you hate the police and you find every reason to talk **** about them.
