The most contentious civil forfeiture fight in the nation will be the subject of a week-long trial starting Monday, November 5, 2012, in Boston. Throughout the week, the Institute for Justice, which represents the property owners in the case, will expose the ugly practice of civil forfeiture—where law enforcement agencies can pad their budgets by taking property from innocent owners who have never been convicted or even charged with a crime.
Please donate to the Institute for Justice if you can. There is a link on their website.

ReplyDeleteI've been following this story. It's a travesty of justice that they're even considering taking it from him.
ReplyDeleteWas it two police both undercover dealing each other drugs? They local police in the town down the road have a bar they took over like this. The chief bought it @ some shady auction for like $10.
ReplyDeleteI find it disgusting and upsetting. Such actions are the same as we saw by the tyrants of the past who were toppled by revolutions.
