Taking all the lemon pounds cake
Fun fact! Police collectively make up a majority of cases of armed robbery,* and it’s totally legal for them
- Legally, civil asset forfeiture is distinct from armed robbery. Literally, they are the same thing.

Civil asset forfeiture is one of those things where when you hear about it your first reaction is that it must be some fringe conspiracy theory because there’s no way the police could get away with something like that, right? But no, it’s really that bad and done completely in the open. Cops can just steal your shit out of “suspicion” and the process of getting it back is deliberately labyrinthine and difficult.

Can you prove your inherited grandmother’s engagement ring actually belongs to you? Receipt please! Oh you don’t have one. It’s ours to auction off now!

And the father of civil asset forfeiture was DNC centrist darling and father of the Israeli genocide of Palestinians himself, Joe dipshit biden, who belongs in prison along with trump and many other american politicians.
