Longmire would never have taken that money.
So when are we going to have a judge rule that the civil forfeiture statute is unconstitutional and strike it down?
That would get the corrupt state reps attention.
The malnois looks happy too. Maybe the chief was going to spring for a ritzy new collar and a set of Neuticles.
Note⌠This cop didnât do really anything different than standing behind someone at an ATM and demanding their money once it was withdrawn.
ONE is a crime and the other is âCivil Forfeitureâ âŚ
Maybe the police can make up the shortfall now by raiding that copâs pension.
Are they using a version of the Lindsey England Defence, âAh dud not re-ah-lies wut ah wuz doinâ wuz raangh.â

Pulled over for 78 in a 75, without brown skin? Must have had out-of-state plates. Although the next story down on the topic mentions that another deputy considered cars driving at or below the speed limit suspicious because it makes them look like theyâre trying to avoid getting pulled over, so damned if you do, damned if you donât.
Christ, what a bunch of assholes.
The legal papers say that he did NOT consent to the search. But the police searched anyhow.
I read this informative and disturbing article several weeks ago and it came to mind when reading this story. How long before the words âcriminalsâ and âpoliceâ become commonly recognized as synonyms amongst various Thesauruses?
Nguyen is a Vietnamese last name. I wouldnât be surprised if he was, in fact, stopped for Driving While Brown.
Could someone point me to this âliberal mediaâ I keep hearing about? Iâd like to give it a try, but Iâm having a hard time finding any.
Also called the âMonica Goodling Defenseâ also âIt was legal according to what I learned at Pat Robertsonâs make believe law school.â
Perhaps incentivizing enforcement was a bad ideaâŚ(?)
Or as the police always seem so fond of saying, âignorance of the law is no excuseâ.
" the Sheriffâs Office was acting in accordance with the law as they understood it"
Can I use that excuse when I get caught doing something illegal?
Thereâs something very very wrong with America at this point for cops to even think that something like this is acceptable. We really need to start organizing for change. If you want to call the sheriffâs office as I did to express my disapproval, their number is: (775) 623-6429. At least that will be doing something.
That dog doesnât need $50 grand anywayâŚ
Basically this is referred to as theft.
