Wayne county has been corrupt for decades, they tried to make my brother pay a parking ticket 3 years after he died in military service out of the state and the car was and had not been in that state for over 5 years. They demanded an address I wanted to give them the cemetery but my mom was to upset and they demanded a copy of the death certificate, like really what could they do he was dead. This is the stuff they pulled back in the 1980's. But I appreciate all you do and if I ever get out of this debt hole will love to help others by donating to you all

That's why the majority of civil asset forfeiture is for amounts less than it would cost to hire a lawyer to recover those assets. "Well, you can go ahead and take us to court to try and prove your former property is innocent, but we'll fight you until you run out of money."

[@brentfarvors192]

Nothing but common street thugs, robbing people with immunity...

[@greg_austin]

Yup. My "civil" restraining order (no due process) of thirteen years, coupled to my YT censorship, stole my solvent $1.6 mil house, kidnapped my child, robbed my inheritance at gunpoint, enslaved me to earn more money to pay to them, took, my guns and forbid me from replacing any of it. Today, the courts have established 28 U.S.C. § 1331 federal question, but they still refuse to hear the case on its merits.

[@martj1313]

The fact that IJ even exists proves beyond any doubt that the system is broken.

[@madmaximilian5783]

The system is not only broken but its clearly being abused by certain groups to commit crimes against society...for personal gain.

[@-_-----]

Completely Incorrect: 1. Low-Quality people will ALWAYS be drawn to government, therefore it will not work to "have a government agency that looks after the government". Those have been tried, and *every single one* has eventually calcified to the point of complete ineffectiveness (or worse, becoming an agent of the very corruption they were founded to prevent). 2. IJ is exactly the type of organization that's needed to keep our institutions clean: a PRIVATE group of people, funded DIRECTLY by PRIVATE DONATIONS, who ONLY do this work because they're PASSIONATE about the work itself. There should be dozens 'IJ'-like orgs, constantly patrolling every level of Federal, State, Local, and Industry-Specific government.

[@Jimraynor45]

Well, this is kind of naive. Well, I'm not sure the exact fallacy you're committing, but just because IJ exists doesn't really prove the "the system is broken." No more than the existence of cops prove humans are evil or that door locks prove human can't respect privacy or that seatbelts prove humans can't drive or so forth. This reminds me of something Milton Friedman once said. "It's a mistake to try play a game which requires every player to follow the rules exactly, instead you need to create a game which works _despite_ players trying to cheat." You say the system is broken. Guess what, it's worse then that, life is broken, it's unfair and it's absurd. It's impossible to have a system that isn't broken. Instead, do the best you can and should do, which is to put locks on doors. Keep people honest. IJ is that lock, make sure you use it.

[@lightning9279]

Those who say qualified immunity for police needs to stay because if it doesn't the police can't legally protect the public. The problem with that is the Supreme Court ruled that the police have zero obligation to protect the public.

On the DEA one, the dog supposedly "alerted" (after the dog was queued). Why did the "DEA agent" later have to say they "could go get a warrant"? I never saw the "agent" properly identify himself either.

[@PDQkevin77]

Just imagine your relative has passed and you have to fly to attend the funeral. You fly out on Friday for a Saturday service and you have to fly home Sunday to be at work on Monday. After the service you are told that your relative left you $10k in cash because they didn’t use banks. There are no banks open so you can’t deposit the cash and have to bring it with you on the flight home. At security the TSA notice the cash and call the DEA and tell them about it. The DEA then searches your bag and takes the cash. You are never charged with any crime but you must now sue the government to get the money back. The attorney who can get your money back wants $5k up front. This is why civil asset forfeiture must be stopped.

[@captainjimolchs]

Can you prove that the deceased obtained the cash legally? $5000 sounds cheap.

[@whatshaploing8256]

@@captainjimolchs You mean, can LEO prove they didn't? The assumption would be, absent a crime, to assume innocence right? Civil forfeiture was originally about taking cash seized as a part of drug raids/investigations, not random people being stopped at airports or in their cars just traveling.

Qualified Immunity violates the 1st Amendment by eliminating your ability to redress grievances with the Government.

[@derekelliott6098]

You dont understand what redress means then. "Redress grievances" is a whole different concept. That means to be compensated. The term you are looking for it right to petition your grievance." Go on, tell us how the 1A is violated by QI. I will tell you all rights are fettered - not absolute. The Bill of Rights are technically liberties. And the USC is merely a guideline.

[@ignazachenbach5406]

Another reason qualified immunity is illegitimate is because those who are BOUND BY OATH to support the Constitution SHOULD BE PRESUMED TO KNOW WHAT IT SAYS-which _Harlow_ and _Pearson_ clearly overlooked. Even more damning is that the meaning of the Constitution can already be readily “deduced” by the application of principles; that it need not “partake of the prolixity of a legal code.” _McCulloch v. Maryland,_ 4 Wheat. 316, 407 (1819).

[@newshodgepodge6329]

Should be a RICO charge against TSA and DEA.

[@-_-----]

Agreed, and things like that have been attempted. However, efforts like that always hit a brick wall: 1) The sheer volume of evidence of their wrongdoings in these "institutional wrongdoing" cases is so unbelievably enormous that a) plaintiffs struggle to organize, link, categorize, and summarize it all, and b) you average judge doesn't have the tools to process such a body of evidence. Our courts were simply not designed to address ENTIRE SECTIONS of SOCIETY - encompassing 10Ks of laws, 10Ks of people, and 100Ks of individual actions - committing mass-crime. 2) Even if that evidence was gathered, summarized to perfection, reviewed by a non-biased, non-corrupt judge, and the judge passed a judgement... The COLLECTION / enforcement action would, again, be of a) such unpopularity that many enforcement agencies and the liable parties themselves simply refuse and stonewall enforcement efforts, and would b) be of such massive logistical size, that that many enforcement agencies would struggle to actually carry out such an action.

The people are tired of the arrogant sophistry, and lack of results.

DEA is used to just searching because if you resist, then they’ll go through the formality of bringing a dog, which will likely mean you miss your flight.

Now if only someone would pressure TSA to fix their scanners so people with disabilities and certain surgeries aren't unfairly searched every time they walk through. Specifically, those with hernia mesh have a much higher chance than those without one to be flagged for search of their groin area. The two entities involved are TSA for knowing this and doing nothing, and Leidos, who makes the scanning devices for not fixing the issue. They know they can just be cheap and get away with it.

@@georgedunkelberg5004 I'm not a lawyer, but I do know that history has shown that government personnel are practically never held personally accountable (other than being fired) for the harms caused while working as agents for the government. Part of that is obviously because lawyers go where the money can be found, but until government employees are forced to have some of their own skin in the game for paying back harms, they have little incentive to care about the harms they might cause.

Could a Writ of Execution be used to force the money owed to be removed from the bank account directly? The sheriff (or other law enforcement officer) would have the bank remove the funds from the government's account and pay it to the plaintiff. The amount would be the original award amount, plus interest (usually 10%APR), all court costs & attorney fees and amount the sheriff charges for having to do this. Basically they have committed Contempt of Court but no prosecutor will charge them so the only way to get justice is to collect the money owed by the defendants.

[@BrianDawson-n8n]

If some judge would issue such a Writ of Replevin, with the stipulation that some actual person would be arrested, and jailed in contempt of court, then I imagine the money would appear. Meanwhile, I also wonder if there could be some remedy in a withholding of any taxes to the municipality in question, until such a time as the debt is settled.

[@Bea-wb9uk]

The question is: What is thought out and what is not thought out? That is correct. But it goes both ways in application. The police training should not teach rash, not well thought out descision making with zero common sense about being thorough on the court's behalf. The officers of the court have to uphold the reputation of the constitution in their courts. If they are not being trained to check their own work in that descision tree, the training is remiss, unprofessional, and therefore negligent as a training application. Bad management is bad management. You don't promote your worst players with the most power trip issues, who don't confirm their work. That reflects on the court's believability...no accountability = a bad officer. A smart officer is balanced.

[@shelbynamels7948]

as to the second case (city refuses to pay judgment) maybe a case in the Carolinas offers a solution. A couple who had successfully sued BofA got awarded court costs, which the bank stiffed them on. Eventually, their lawyer got the sheriff to enforce a lien by going in and removing everything from a local branch that was not nailed down, including computers, printers, coffee makers, desks, chairs, and staplers. The panicked branch manager came up with a check for the full amount by the same afternoon. This has been a widely reported story. There are a number of news clips circulating on Yt if interested in knowing more.

[@derdeolifant]

If government declines to pay, then you are entitled to get the payment from any or all office bearers personally: these are the people that have declined to do the order of the court. The office bearers can sort it out with the administration. Take it from the mayor, from the fire house, from the selling head of police's personal vehicles.
