Ever hear of the
National Native Holiday?
I had an officer in Costa Mesa, Ca offer to take my cashed paycheck after he pulled my wife over for no reason. I explained it to him tnhat I would be taing him as a prisoner in my car to hjis desk sargent along with my employer as a witness as to where my money came from. The a-hole changed his mind about things along with the 2nd officer at the scene. Sorry, I am intollerant of B.S. in the city where I live.
So if you are traveling with cash and it’s legal cash the officers can take the cash and then you have to pay a lawyer, court costs, etc.etc. to get your cash back?? OUTRAGEOUS!
@percival132 i agree, and i’ll be the first to point out a problem in this country. however, it really gets under my skin when people bitch like there’s better out there.
@FutureLogicDubs the police keep your ass from getting mowed down by organized crime. stfu and appreciate the people who put their lives on the line both domestically and globally. but yes, fuck asshole police who abuse their position of power!
Good job reporter Williams. You nailed these backwood thugcops. One of these days they’re gonna rob the wrong Mexican gang and find out what bad is all about. Mexican gangs dont play games and they arent afraid of potbellied fatasses with guns.
These ‘asset forfeiture’ laws are unconstitutional and these porky pigs admitted on camera that they “compete” to steal money from citizens. These crimes have been going on along I-10 in Louisiana for over a decade. Maybe the TN congress will put an end to this but its doubtful. The war on drugs is really just a way for corrupt fatso cops to fatten their wallets.
Just seen this, In 1999 .DICKSON COUNTY..I was stopped for going 3mph over the limit on I40 ( MAURY tags)..went to HAZARD court ..I mean DICKSON county court along with 160 other ppl that friday n met BOSS HOGG n the rest of the court officials..Im English n at least DICK TURPIN had the decency to have a MASK when he robbed ya!! protect and serve MY ASS!.highway robbery PURE n simple!
Ohhhh to “fight the drugs”. I forgot about the “war on drugs”, how silly of me.
It starts with consent. Some stranger in a blue suit begins questioning U & U fall all over yourself licking his boots so you don’t get in trouble. Are you in a position to be in trouble because you’ve done wrong? If not, then why are you consenting to searches & questioning? People consent to everything, you can hear the moron saying yes search my stuff in the video, like that is OK behavior to let a stranger go rifle (pun) thru your stuff. It starts in the 2nd grade principals office.
What happens is the money is used for overtime so that the cops can make 80K or more per year plus they get to go on vacations with the money in the form of conferences etc and they buy the latest toys for law enforcement, no one screams that the taxpayers are being robbed. .They are being robbed but it’s a select few of them. Remember these cops will tell you…I’m not making that much…but they are !!!!
This is what happens when you have a bloated out-of-control centralized collectivist criminal government of corrupt autocratic bureaucrats who MUST keep their top-heavy ponzi-sheme of coercion alive while, we as the preyed-upon Sheep MUST continue to feed these wolves.
In a Fascist Crony Corporatist police-state … the police are the criminals and terrorists.
This is theft
Who is this narrator?!
“VEEHERCERLS”
The sheep don’t know they live in an occupied country.
No Ricky Chandler, you are a God Damn thief! Don’t cry to me how hard your job is. You are thieves with the power of the government behind you. Go cry to your God Damn FOP (which needs to be broken).
they stop the money side cause they be taking a few bucks off the top and putting it in their pockets…
The “weaving” guy in the first part of the video…oh, he wasn’t weaving, smirk smirk. WTF about HIM? He got ROBBED!! This is why people steal tanks and shit.
The Cheif ever said that if the cops don’t get the money they could lose their jobs. It’s all about the money…. So are they the police or the mafia?
I work for cash tips and sometimes I go home with two to three thousand dollars in cash a night. . . this frightens me. I live near this place.
they are no difference between cops and the mafia .

InstituteForJustice is all about destroying government funding as you are fucking Koch whores, funded by billionaires. You aren’t concerned about citizens rights being abused, you just want billionaires to get richer.
@jcsaathoff These aren’t liberal reporters, these guys are funded by the Koch Brothers and the rich intent on neutralizing law enforcement so they can plunder even more money, money dwarving what these cops are finding. But scumbag billionaires always look for angles to mask their agenda, so I can’t blame you, go to sourcewatch to learn InstituteForJustice are terrorists.
@measl Its understandable that this anti police hit piece can deceive people. Reality is that the Koch Brothers fund the InstituteForJustice. Since Koch industries is a private corporation, it wouldn’t surprise me a bit if they aren’t involved in funding the drug trade and they are getting hurt by the Tennessee police. You will notice there are no victims of civil forfeiture interviewed, something I would expect to make the case police are abusive.
@MatticusNicholas This is not investigative journalism. InstituteForJustice is funded by the Koch Brothers, who probably fund drug distribution in parts of the USA. Bet it’s there money getting lost in these civil forfeitures. Remember, investigate the investigators.
