Policing for Profit

I predicted this when I hears about the RICO laws. Be careful driving on our nation’s roads, especially in New York and Florida (Utah, too, where the “confiscating officer” gets a percentage of the loot). Don’t carry large amounts of cash in those states because bandits (wearing badges and driving police cars) will stop you and steal it, claiming it is “probably drug money.” Under RICO laws, they don’t even have to prove it, and to get it back, YOU have to post a bond promising to pay THEIR legal and court costs, win or lose, in order to file suit. Cops today can steal your car if you commit ANY kind of a crime in it, even if it’s not your car. In one case, they caught a man getting oral sex in a car that was his and his WIFE’S car and they stole it. It didn’t matter that his wife didn’t know what he was doing and, indeed, would not have approved. She lost her interest in her car because of this minor crime that was hurting nobody (In fact, it was making one guy very happy). These days they can stand beside a walkway and scan your pockets (that little “strip” in all new bills broadcasts its presence to their scanners) to find out of you’re carrying enough money to make it worth while to rob you. If you are, they can stop you, search you, and take any money they find, saying it is “probably drug money.” The system described above applies here, too. You can lose your car for non-payment of TRAFFIC tickets. These are the kind of laws we fought a REVOLUTION to remove, but our own government is now enforcing them. After this is published, I will probably be targeted. (FEAR)
