John Oliver with Excellent Expose on Cop Abuse of Civil Forfeiture

Civil Forfeiture has been an illegal outrage from the start ... but ... you have no idea just how outrageous.  Well over two billion dollars has been seized from people who were never charged with a crime.

There is no regulation of what becomes of the money and cops in Texas used some to buy a margarita machine and soft drinks.





The disintegration that permits these abuses began when Reagan destroyed Miranda Rights and protection against illegal search and seizure, all ostensibly in the name of the War on Drugs.  As you may have noticed, the War on Drugs has been a towering failure ... but cops keep taking money from people with a frequent first question from these parasites:  do you have any money in the car.  That's not an arrest, it's a shakedown.
