I don’t care about your damn Christmas parade, numerous studies have proven a direct connection. Police that dress in military uniforms, carry military equipment, drive military vehicles, and train with military tactics are more likely to be violent. Police are supposed to protect and serve the public, the military is…

In some places, jailers get a budget amount & if they don’t spend all of it they get the surplus as a bonus. Now, how well do you think the imprisoned eat in those jails? There have been lawsuits over malnutrition, and worse.

Google Tenaha, Texas. Exactly that was happening. A tiny town speed trap was pulling over mostly black and brown people and forcing them to forfeit their cash or risk arrest. If you had kids in the car, they threatened to send them to CPS. The town is on the way to the riverboats in Shreveport, LA. So many from…

Oh... no doubt about that. It’s not going to be easy. It’s just that these laws are so blatantly unconstitutional if one has the resources to fight they will prevail.

I urge everyone to go read the full article. I read it yesterday and it made my blood boil. Fucking Scumbags.

Since when have cops has the Roberts Supreme Court ever followed precedent when it didn’t help them?

Oh you found the vehicle they bring to traffic stops involving people with darker shades of skin!

“I hope they get disincorporated and some people in power go to jail like in that speed trap town in Ohio.”

LeClaire, IA (ex-home of the pickers) city police set up a camera on I80 just as soon as you cross into IA from IL. Hits people from both directions. Gets a fair amount for the city as well. 

Coal Grove OH too...but the chief and officers all resigned last week, said the mayor was corrupt and an asshole.

oh that cash in your wallet you got from selling drugs....https://reason.com/2021/12/01/watch-nevada-highway-patrol-officers-seize-a-veterans-life-savings-through-asset-forfeiture/

I assume They’re talking about the one in Cincinnati, Arlington Heights.

Winning will be easy. Most of course cannot afford legal representation and will have to forfeit their seized asset.

You can beat the rap but you can’t beat the ride.

The New Rome, OH speed trap, or the Linndale, OH speed trap. Or, the new one on the Mayfield Village stretch of I-271 where they put up speed cameras?

‘Merica is on that fast track. 

And probably have no hope of winning said lawsuit.

The forfeitures numbers are terrifying. Imagine you are on a family vacation and some small town cop decides your car and all your stuff is now their property and you have to sue to get it back.
