This has been making my blood boil since the '80s. It’s absolutely incomprehensible to me that a practice so blatantly and egregiously unconstitutional could have survived for so long. How on Earth has this been allowed to continue?
I can’t read articles like this without having “Robin Hood” fantasies of absconding with all the funds of every police force, DA’s office and all the personal assets of the individuals who have been engaging in these “legal” thefts, and turning it all over to the victims. Ideally that would be followed up by jail time for the police and DAs involved, but that scenario is too unrealistic for even my unrealistic fantasy.
