Indiana police are taking packages off of FedEx conveyor belts and opening them on just about any pretext, and it’s very difficult for either senders or recipients to get seized packages back. From Brian McGlinchey at starkrealities.substack.com:
“I am just totally stunned that this can happen in America”
From a federal government operating far beyond the bounds of the Constitution to law enforcement agencies routinely entering private property without warrants, tyranny takes many forms in the United States. However, few are as shocking to the sensibilities as civil asset forfeiture, the controversial practice that empowers police to seize money, cars, trucks, houses or anything else they merely accuse of having a link to criminal activity — regardless of whether the property owner is charged with a crime.
Civil asset forfeiture is an affront to anyone who’s sincerely committed to the American justice system’s cornerstone presumption of innocence. With law enforcement typically keeping some or all of the assets that are seized, the practice has rightly been called “policing for profit.”
I’ve previously examined the raw tyranny of civil asset forfeiture, spotlighting the story of a Mississippi man who took $42,300 in cash to Houston with the intent of buying a second semi truck for his fledgling trucking business, only to have it seized — or, in legal jargon, “forfeited” — by Harris County police, who pulled him over for allegedly following the vehicle in front of him too closely.
Now I’m compelled to share a new example of this legalized theft — the most brazenly unjust and opportunistic one I’ve encountered yet: In an ongoing, multi-million-dollar racket in Indianapolis, police are routinely seizing cash they find in FedEx packages that happen to be routed through that company’s second-largest hub.
A merger of corporate and state?
Pay attention comrade lefty, this is the definition of fascism.
The South’s middle finger is way too stupid to legalize and is owned by Big Pharmakeia with several IG Farben HQ scattered around.
Let me guess muh weed, 3-D printed guns, we scanned it and saw ca$h bundles, don’t mind if I do.
Are those I-10 bandits of the state still going in Louisiana and Texas?
Bro turns on the sun visor camera and if asked about a ca$h bundle says… I’m on vacation and it’s expensive where I’m going.
Speaking of bundle, bandana with balaclava, boxers and briefs, long socks, Nike running pants under jeans, gloves in mittens, didn’t even get old and no Sluggo tonight, too much green beans on turkey day.
