John Oliver takes on one of the more boring but insidious scandals in Our Republic today: the phenomenon of civil asset forfeiture. That's when police seize cash, vehicles, or any other property they believe was used in a crime, regardless of whether the stuff's owner is found guilty of a crime or not.
Another story about police being out-of-control fascist assholes. Color me shocked, shocked!
Also, too, I would watch the hell out of that Jeff Goldblum series. For the tap dancing alone.
Funny how they don't dare take a welfare rancher's cattle.
You know what usually happens when the local cops turn to banditry? The State Department advises Americans to stay away.
Or Wall Street Banks...it's where the money is...and on top of that, those banks are thieves and monopolists, so win/win!
This story reminds me of that Robin Hood guy. Somehow.
Tenny mucho mucho deniro in su trucky trailer, indeed.
