civil asset forfeiture - Page 2

Never ever consent to a search.

Also its crazy that when the probable cause doesn't hold up (no marijuana found) that the search isn't considered void.

Yes it is a complete hypocrisy of abiding the law. Commonly referred to as perversion.

Unbelievable. Just disgusting.

^^ This makes completely no sense... so I guess the correct thing is to lie to the police about any cash you are carrying and plead ignorance later if they find out? Or just don't talk to the police in general, say as little as possible, go lawyer up on them.

Honestly i dont see the problem here. Just dont do the crime.

yeah man i completely agree 100%. just don't post kindergarten troll bait and you won't get banned

This reminds me of the Viffer story where random DEA agents seized like 60k in cash from him at an airport when he was going from LA to Vegas or some such. 2p2 post about it somewhere.

Or the countless post-PCA stories of US customs trying their damndest seize $ of returning players.

At least the stories of similar things happening in South East Asian airports usually involve far smaller amounts lol

In what way is this a comedy show?
I mean the show is really good but its a fucking weird blend of serious reporting and comedy that doesnt really fit together.

actually this represents most comedy out there, esp stand up, or any late night comedy

Since when does comedy has to be fiction to be funny?
TT is right, comedy usually covers real life truth

keeping people entertained while spreading important messages does fit together. finding the right balance must be quite tricky which is why there are so few who are masters at it.

LOL

^god that's terrible

I'm pretty shocked this exists. They justify it by saying it makes it easier for them to take property and assets from criminals. It's awful that they can take something without proving you're guilty and proving that the specific assets they targetted are proceeds from crime. Also, carrying large amounts of cash is considered risky but it's not meant to be risky because the "good guys" can come and take it from you and hold it for months or forever. That could inconvenience a lot of innocent people and some of the amounts aren't even that large :/ It instills fear into people too which we don't need more of.

Heinous.

Any ideas on what can be done to change this?

Drones too.

i suggest emigration

Meh i thought only the politicians of weak countries like mine can give so retarded answers to simple questions about terrifying deeds

some cops are just fucking criminals willing to do anything to get more money.
