Civil asset forfeiture may sound like a shakedown in a corrupt, South American country, but it is an example of police corruption right here in the USA, and it is entirely legal. The principal in U.S. law of being innocent until proven guilty is one that virtually every citizen in the country believes and relies on. But somehow police have come up with some exceptions, and police unions have influenced legislators to ignore that standard in order to line the coffers of various police departments.
These police departments are now out and out stealing from law-abiding citizens, who have almost no recourse to get their money back. And now the police and highway patrol in Oklahoma have added a new twist… they will drain your bank account when they pull you over for a traffic stop, whether you are guilty of something or not. And you can bet that other police departments throughout the nation will join the list of thieving police using this outrageous device.

I hope this is a believe it or not post
They will think twice when low life goose stepping jack booted thug pigs start getting killed daily!
Well I sure as hell will go around that state from now on aaaand if I do have to go through there I wont make my atm card available to them if that’s how they do it
Civil Asset Forfeiture was put forth and passed under the pretense that items purchased with drug money like cars, homes, etc would be seized as ill-gotten gains.
After federal legislation was passed under the rules that feds had to prove the items seized were the product of drug money, federal agencies like DEA and ATF complained that proving the links was too difficult to make it useful, so they unilaterally changed their POLICY to seize everything owned by anyone for even a marihuana seed in their car or home.
This is clearly a violation of the Constitution which says no citizen may be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law.
Due process is well defined in the Constitution and law. It is a process where a warrant is issued based on probable cause, an arrest is made and a citizen is found guilty in court by a jury of his peers.
The outrageous thefts of citizens property and cash comes from the top of the government down, from the feds down to local police departments. Now if you have what they think is too much money on you, they steal it without even arresting you and if you get it back at all, it’s because you are rich enough to hire attorneys for a years long court battle.
People, the system is dirty from the top down and through and through. Nothing short of a new American Revolution and the reinstatement of the Constitution as the ultimate law will end the madness.
This is stupid and illegal.
They call it highway robbery amen and that is wrong amen therefore should be arrested for theft and charged as such amen
Hahahaha,
They didn’t Over Premeditate PREPAY themselves for that one either!
