Yep. We see hundreds of reports of exactly that every day in the news.

Agreed, but if the clothes aren't stolen, it's certainly not a legal problem.

They still do, all over the place. In London the stop and search rate is (IIRC) nine times higher for black men than it is for white.

And the trend seems to be a leap from "They will question the person" to "They will shoot the person." Never any middle ground here.

You wouldn't pay attention, anyway.  Got your head too far up the cops' asses.

Quote:How police steal from citizens

Quote:Under civil asset forfeiture, police can and have seized cash, cars and even houses from people who ultimately are found innocent — and pocketed the proceeds. Many police departments depend on such seizures to bolster their budgets, and have fought tooth and nail to defend the practice despite the public outcry. Yet the tide is beginning to turn. In a sea change of public opinion that would have seemed impossible even a decade ago, people of all political stripes are beginning to recognize that there are some serious concerns with this practice — and lawmakers are taking note.

Of course, that miserable little fucking elf, Jeff Sessions, thinks its just fine.  Hey, G/S.  Maybe you are Jeff Sessions?

Nobody does, because it never happened.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
