Bow to Robots is right on this point, to deprive a citizen of their property without due process of law is clearly unconstitutional regardless of what SCOTUS rules. The arrest of the asset is a strawman. The truth is that government agencies need money to support illegal operations in foreign countries that Congress will not fund. They use the strawman of enacting the war powers act under the guise of the war on terror, or the war on drugs, or the war on poverty, or what ever other war they decide to declare in order to thinly vail the criminal acts they enguage in. They then make local and state police forces accomplices to the thefts by cutting them in on part of the cut by allowing them to keep a portion of the stolen booty. This frees up money in the budgets for more overtime, higher wages, and pension contributions.

It all makes me want to puke. The government are the worst criminals around and everyone is on the take from the local cop to the SCOTUS.

 

Tell that to the black cops who do the most profiling. They know their own race.

 

State your evidence or stop making this false claim

 

Skin color is not sufficient probable cause for search and seizure.

 

And? The fact that they do it doesn't make it acceptable or right.

 

In certain circumstances it is. If there is an All Points Bulletin about a crime committed and the escaping perp is a black man, then profiling a black is CERTAINLY sufficient, just as profiling a white guy would be if the escaping perp was white.

But black cops are the worst profilers of all. Funny, but you never see them in the news for shooting anyone. Just doesn't fit the retarded left wing racist narrative.

 

but in 1984, Congress passed the President’s Comprehensive Crime Control Act, which kept dangerous people behind bars, restricted the use of the insanity defense, reviewed Federal sentencing guidelines and toughened penalties for drug dealers and others.

The Comprehensive Crime Control Act of 1984 established the Department of Justice Assets Forfeiture Fund to receive the proceeds of forfeiture and to pay the costs associated with such forfeitures, including the costs of managing and disposing of property, satisfying valid liens, mortgages, and other innocent owner claims, and costs associated with accomplishing the legal forfeiture of the property.

To this day, your assets (and mine) are subject to confiscation without due process due to Ronald Reagan's nullification of the 4th Amendment.

 

No, but it does make the public responsible for this has been going on for decades and yet the public has not jailed a single official doing it, fired a single person for doing it, and electing politicians allowing it..

 

Absolutely. We get the government we deserve.

 

Ummmm No... that is not how it works. It is called "innocent until proven guilty".

It is completely against the Rule of Law and the Constitution what the DEA is doing. And this is not the first time.

 

Its terribly sad, but you have to be a fracking MORON going cross country with that much cash. What if you get robbed? Ever hear of a checking account with a debt card? Sheeeesh. That's why banks exist. Shouldn't have happened, but damn.

 

He shouldn't have to.

The loophole is in who is being charge. The arrest is against the MONEY, not the person holding the money. That's how the government's lawyers try to explain this with a straight face.

Bear in mind, I don't agree with the strategy of seizing money without another crime attached. (Money from a bank robbery, money DIRECTLY connected with heroin sales or coke sales). I personally believe government has overstepped its bounds.

Problem is, THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER 20 YEARS. And NOW the left wing pinko media makes a big deal about it, just because we have a (*)(*)(*)(*)ing racist president who has set race relations in America back 50 years?

I'm not buying it.
That black guy knew the law. He was STUPID. He could have put that money in an account. Even with bad credit, he could have gotten a debit card, which is just as good as cash.

He's a victim of his own stupidity and ignorance. Don't blame the law. It's been on the books for a long time and nobody from either party made any major efforts to overturn it.

Under new rules announced Friday, federal agencies will no longer be able to accept or "adopt" assets seized by local and state law enforcement agencies

As part of the Department of Justice’s comprehensive, ongoing review of the asset forfeiture program, Attorney General Eric Holder today issued a policy focusing the use of asset forfeiture authorities on the most serious illegal banking transactions, restricting civil or criminal forfeiture seizures for structuring until after a defendant has been criminally charged or has been found to have engaged in additional criminal activity, in most cases.

Oddly, I haven't seen any conservatives praising Holder for being the first official in like, forever, to start restricting asset forfeiture. Instead, they seem to hate Holder for doing it.

Note that the feds don't have the authority to shut down state and local asset forfeiture programs. That's up to each state, and the courts.

 

It is not a crime to walk around with a bunch of cash. You seem to agree that these laws are wrong and then you say "Don't blame the law".

If the law is wrong, the law is wrong. That neither party has made no effort to overturn it is not a surprise.

Both Red and Blue are shills for the Oligopolies. One day people will start to figure this out but at that point it will likely be too late.

At the end of the day, either you think individual rights and freedoms as per the constitution should be respected or they shouldn't.

This is a clear violation of the constitution and the Rule of law. That fact that some black fellow was stupid is irrelevant.

There other similar cases .. two fellows were "targeted" by the police. They were poker players. The Cash was seized and although they were never charged the State still kept a portion of the cash.

Cops are now getting training from various companies in how to "thwart" the law and get away with it.

The problem with increasing police powers is that the opportunity for abuse of these powers increases.

Individual rights and freedoms are not to protect you from "Osama Bin Laden". They are to protect you from the "Heavy Hand of the STATE".
