Policing for Profit in Tennessee - Civil Forfeiture Highway Shakedowns

"Civil forfeiture laws represent one of the most serious assaults on private property rights in the nation today. Under civil forfeiture, police and prosecutors can seize your car or other property, sell it and use the proceeds to fund agency budgets—all without so much as charging you with a crime. Unlike criminal forfeiture, where property is taken after its owner has been found guilty in a court of law, with civil forfeiture, owners need not be charged with or convicted of a crime to lose homes, cars, cash or other property.

Americans are supposed to be innocent until proven guilty, but civil forfeiture turns that principle on its head. With civil forfeiture, your property is guilty until you prove it innocent.


Policing for Profit: The Abuse of Civil Asset Forfeiture chronicles how state and federal laws leave innocent property owners vulnerable to forfeiture abuse and encourage law enforcement to take property to boost their budgets. The report finds that by giving law enforcement a direct financial stake in forfeiture efforts, most state and federal laws encourage policing for profit, not justice. "

if 9-11 does not demarcate the beginning of the Second Civil War, then actions such as this definitely do.

the police state set up to protect the Talmud Worshippers gets part of their pay by robbing the citizens.

it's organized, it's widespread, and it includes violence - mostly by the police.

if that doesn't meet the definition of a Civil War ... what is the definition of a Civil War ?

only when the people fight back ?

i would say it's already a Civil War. how & when the people fight back is up to them.
