Civil Forfeiture hatte ich ja hier schon häufiger im Blog.
Aber jetzt ist der Zeitpunkt gekommen, wo die Kanadier merken [0], was für ein Raubritter-Unrechtsstaat sie da zum Nachbarn haben.
>It usually starts on the road somewhere. An officer pulls you over for some minor infraction — changing lanes without proper signalling, following the car ahead too closely, straddling lanes. The offence is irrelevant.
>
>Then the police officer wants to chat, asking questions about where you’re going, or where you came from, and why. He’ll peer into your car, then perhaps ask permission to search it, citing the need for vigilance against terrorist weaponry or drugs.
Immerhin kriegen wir hier mal einen Bericht, wie sich das aus Opferperspektive anfühlt!
>What he’s really looking for, though, is money.
>
>And if you were foolish (or intimidated) enough to have consented to the search, and you’re carrying any significant amount of cash, you are now likely to lose it.
>
>The officer will probably produce a waiver, saying that if you just sign over the money then the whole matter will just disappear, and you’ll be able to go on your way.
>
>Refuse to sign it, and he may take the cash anyway, proclaiming it the probable proceeds of drugs or some other crime.
>
>Either way, you almost certainly won’t be charged with anything; the objective is to take your money, not burden the system.
Wunderschöne Formulierung! Wie in alten US-Kriminalserien! Hammer, Sie haben schon wieder 20 Passanten erschossen! Was das wieder für einen Papierkram macht!1!!
