Civil Forfeiture Highway Shakedowns in Tennessee


The shot of the cop cars facing the money side of the highway with their backs to the drug side is just about the most perfect metaphor for the war on drugs I have ever seen.

Tennessee named #1 corrupt state.
Civil forfeiture is one of the most fucked up aspects of the war on drugs. It was originally intended to get profits of big time traffickers, the idea being to keep them from retaining the profits of illegal activity. But now they use it to steal the automobiles of people for buying a crack rock. I see this on COPS all the time. I will say that the tractor-trailer with plastic wrapped bundles of cash in the video above was most likely carrying drug money. But if you get pulled over and have 1000 dollars on you, watch out.
Really? No shit? How freaking rare! Hey Dudes, it ain't just in Tennessee - believe New York started the practice.
Well that makes it okay, then.
What an asshole - nothing in my reply indicated that I think it's okay.
Of course not.  The only thing your post indicated was that you wanted to let everyone know that this is all old news to you and that you know what it's really all about.  Thanks for that valuable contribution.
You're welcome Jerk.
