It looks like at least one person in our judicial system remembers that they serve the people, not the government.
Ruling in favor of North Carolina convenience store owner Lyndon McLellan, US District Judge James Fox said that the government is to cover the full cost of the legal fees and expenses he accrued defending himself in court. The amount to be paid is estimated to come in at over $20,000.
McLellan’s legal problems arose in May of 2014 when the IRS raided his bank account and seized $107,700 from it. Shortly after taking McLellan’s money however, the government ceased all action against McLellan on account of Justice Department policy changes and returned the money to him.
During the period the IRS was holding his money, McLellan prepared to sue the government only to find himself saddled with a considerable bill after his case was suddenly dropped. Feeling that he shouldn’t have to pay for the government’s mistake, he filed suit.

This civil forfeiture c**p is getting ridiculous. Many small businesses make numerous small cash deposits every week and most are less than $10,000.
This happens because the business doesn’t accept credit cards and daily sales are less than $10,000. Rather than make one deposit every week for $10,000, they make their deposits daily to avoid having so much cash on hand. This lowers their risk if their business is robbed.
Time to start responding to such tyranny with bullets. This is criminals parading as govt workers who should be dealt with like any other common thief stealing from your home.
This is Obama’s America and Obama’s Department of NonJustice
Hell,Uncle Sam steals about 15,000$ from me every year just in income tax so they can “redistribute” it to moochers,illegals,politicians,and other bottom feeding scumsuckers.

I don’t have a problem with this taxpayer seeking financial redress at the expense of all taxpayers because of the harm done to him by the federal government and neither should you.
Jay Kane I don’t have a problem with him. He’s the one that got screwed, guilty until proven innocent. That screws all of us. Every drop of sweat that goes to pay for stupid c**p like this is a waste of my time and effort, and yours too. That I have a problem with. A damned big one.
