In the 1770's there was a war because a government perpetrated such things upon its subjects. Those subjects won their war, became citizens of a new nation and wrote a document that supposedly protected the new country's citizens against such things happening to them at the hands of the new government.Soccerdad1995 wrote:It's called Civil Asset Forfeiture. The SCOTUS has found the practice to be constitutional. They were wrong, IMHO. Police can randomly take any and all of your possessions and you can fight them in court to try and get them back. You won't. At best you might get a settlement where you get some of your stuff back.
There are many, many stories just like this one from around the country. I personally know several people who have been victimized by LEO's in this way. And none of them had done anything illegal. None of them were even accused of doing anything illegal. Seizure of assets does not require that the victim be charged with any crime.
This is a prime reason why we need the second amendment.
