Alright now. Who am I mad at for this one? The cops? A bit. They are just being common criminals trying to make ends meet. The motorists? Yes I'm mad at them. This is so sick that people are so weak to stand up to ANY authority. Here is a quote that makes me want to vomit.
"If used properly, it's a good law-enforcement tool[asset forfeiture] to see that crime doesn't pay," said state Sen. John Whitmire, chairman of the Senate's Criminal Justice Committee. "But in this instance, where people are being pulled over and their property is taken with no charges filed and no convictions, I think that's theft."
"I THINK that's theft."?! Come on Mr. Senator use a strong scary word like "IS." Come on, be a little assertive and have a bit of conviction.
And people think I'm crazy for supporting things like the Free State Project. Those activists understand you need to step up for yourself. And say NO!
