U.S. attorney general bans asset seizure by local police

[TBoneJack]

Good move by Eric Holder. The police practice of seizing assets of drug suspects was an attempt to "use the drug lords money against them" (started sometime in the 1980s, I think). It amounted to little more than organized robbery by police.

And his anointed son, Rand. Restore the 5th!

For Ron so loved the world he gave his only begotten son. Salvation can only be found through the Paul family.

Thank RON they are on our side.

 

[londonfog]

and neither Ron nor Rand will be POTUS

 

[ginwilly]

and neither Ron nor Rand will be POTUS

So you have not accepted "The Paul" as your savior? You are doomed to a life of debt and collectivism.

Even the right wing lolbertarians can see through Rand Pawl. I can't believe people on a pot forum are supportive of the racist's son.

inb4 benghazi

red1966 has taken more innocent lives than benghazi ever could.

The CIA and the military acted properly in responding to the 2012 attack on a U.S. diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya, a Republican-controlled House committee has found. Its report asserted no wrongdoing by Obama administration officials.

Except guns, they can still take your guns. Always the guns.

It looks good on the surface, but now I'm wondering if planting of evidence may go up in response?
Also, are their any ramifications in the case of white-collar crime?
I'm just trying to figure out what loopholes may be involved here, if there are any.

The feds merely withdrew from accepting their cut from local leo busts. states can STILL seize your shit, just now they don't have to cut the big man in.
