Cops As Bandits

Are the cops the new bandits? They can stop you if they “think you look wrong” (in their opinion) and confiscate (steal) any money you might have (Some politicians think over $50 in cash in your pocket is grounds to take your money because it "might" be drug money). They even have scanners to see if there’s enough money in your pocket to make it worth while. “NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- A major NewsChannel 5 investigation has uncovered serious questions about Tennessee's war on drugs. Among the questions: are some police agencies more concerned about making money off the drugs, than stopping them? At the center of this months-long investigation are laws that let officers pull driver over looking for cash. Those officers do not even have to file criminal charges against a person to take his/her money. It turns out, those kind of stops are now happening almost every day in Middle Tennessee.” It happens elsewhere, too. We need to stop this insane “war on drugs.” It does nothing more than give cops an excuse to do what they can’t do otherwise: loot citizens. It doesn’t work, anyway. There are more people abusing drugs now that before they started it. So what good is it? (Sky 5 HD)
