Civil forfeiture is theft plain and simple.
Truth.
ACAB.
I’ve never understood how civil asset forfeiture is constitutional. It seems like a 4th amendment violation.
Can someone point me to the judicial decisions that lead to this being legal?
It is a 4th amendment violation, but some shit judge ruled otherwise at some point so they get to pretend it isn’t.
Can you not just deny access to search the vehicle?
In the article they stated one of the drivers did that, so they brought in a “drug dog” that of course signaled at the car so they took that as cause to search. I bet that dog just signals at every car it sees
I watched a video for an ex-military lad heading home to his daughter on his retirement. He had saved up about $87k for her college fund. He had a phobia about banks, so had it all in a bag in boot of the car. He got stopped and recorded it all. The cop asked if he could search his car. He complied as he had nothing to hide, he thought. On finding the cash the police told him he was taking it. The man fought back back stating he had all his pay slips and receipts to show he owned the cash. they brought in a drug dog who found the bag when it was hidden. It is a proven fact that 90% of all bills in the US have drugs on them. He took them to court and got a positive verdict. It cost him near $20k to get his own money back.
“The dog didn’t miss a single drug dealer’s car, it’s just great!”
