This is exactly what the governors are doing, but writ small. "How do I, a local politician, score points off of this international incident that has nothing to do with me....."

Fried Chicken posted:Cops in Albuquerque don't like the repeal of civil assets forfeiture, so they are just continuing to steal from the populace. Does that count? I've been through Albuquerque. It's not a place a sane, rational person would spend any amount of time in if they can possibly avoid it.

 The only upshot is that the Reagan/Bush mainline GOP establishment will finally collapse under the weight of all the white racism, leaving a weak, diverse center left and a plurality of angry, single-minded bigots. I'm not even sure that's an upshot though

Evil Fluffy posted:Can the Feds be called in to help enforce laws when the State law enforcement openly defies the law? Considering the state outlawed this particular form of theft-by-cop any LEO continuing the practice is just a thief and in the case of taking cars couldn't you call for charges of grand theft just like in any other case of someone taking cars illegally? You bet your rear end they can:

Holy poo poo. Am... am I the crazy one? Maybe Muslims actually are a menace who should be discriminated against based on their religion. That seems horrible and insane, but it seems the entire world has gone insane with that train of thought except for me, and "everyone's crazy but me" is something a crazy person would think.

Fried Chicken posted:Last year the value of all civil asset forfeiture was greater than the value of all burglaries in the US Uh. That is the most misleading way to look at it and really shittyclickbait. Like, the sole reason that the USG took more money in forfeiture and fines is because of the fines levied against Toyota and getting some money from Bernie Madoff to pay off his victims. Like they account for 2/3s of the funds received last year. Because when I think "you know what's wrong with state seizures of assets?" it sure as gently caress isn't ponzi scheme reimbursement or a massive abuse of consumer safety.
