Biden DOJ spending $6 BILLION to seize property from Americans.

[BasicHumanUnit]

Here's the litmus test to see if your town has been taken over by Far Left Socialists / Communists.....

1). Are all the employees behind bullet proof glass ?
2). Are elected officials behind locked doors safely away from the publics reach?
3). Do elected officials refuse to talk with you in person?
4). Does your city's website lack phone numbers and instead only have "contact us" forms ?
5). Do city employees make FAR more than equivalent private sector jobs pay?
6). If you inquire about running for city council, do they smirk and tell you you will have to be "approved" to run for office?

If your city has or does ANY of the above, you are likely living in a city that has already fallen.

I find it amusing how the Right comes here every day to cry and moan......but will never lift a finger to make any meaningful changes.

Here's the reality lost ones.....

The Left is on the march. They are doing it by going after your city council seats, your school board seats, your mayoral seats, your law enforcement positions. what they ARE NOT DOING is crying about being victims. Only the Conservative Right is expert in that losing cause.

Stop being meaningless pathetic victims and RUN FOR OFFICE. ANY OFFICE.

(Be aware that you have waited so long to accept that your doing nothing will be your demise, that you may find it extremely difficult now to even get any positions of power as the left has locked up most of them, bought all the judges and put roadblocks in front of every path you could take.)
The price of doing nothing has become your worst mistake.

Stop blaming the left you worthless victims. It's YOUR fault!

That is because in old America, the left was not hellbent on destroying America. So even with a rep loss, the dems were not that far off base.

Now, in 2023, it is night and day. An election loss can mean the difference between life or death. Reps just like to live in old America, be left alone and live the old American dream...which is gone!

 

[Invisibleflash]

Oh...wait....TRUMP WILL SAVE YOU !!!!

 

[BasicHumanUnit]

Sounds like an interesting story.

I seriously doubt we're hearing the whole story here though.

If anyone can provide the rest of the story...please do. TIA.

Hi CommieCorn.

Should whites be summarily removed from America?
Would that make it a better place for all remaining?

You are absolutely correct.
Look how many posts these whiners have made.

Their version of "doing something" is sitting at the computer crying and whining about being victims 24/7

I ACCEPT that I MUST DO MORE.

Even if it's FAR more than most "Conservatives combined already.
They'll ALL waiting for ME to fight for THEIR rights.

No need for any criminal charges for them to come and take everything you have. Biden's war on Americans continues.

What a complete disaster this guy is.


The Department of Justice is shelling out more than $6 billion to private companies to manage its asset forfeiture investigations, raising alarm from one nonprofit law firm that accuses police of "treating ordinary Americans like ATMs" and seizing their cash.

"You've probably heard the adage, 'you've gotta spend money to make money.' Here, it's 'you've gotta spend money to take money,'" said Dan Alban, head of the Institute for Justice's National Initiative to End Forfeiture.

Asset forfeiture is the process through which the government seizes money or other property that is believed to be linked to a crime. Most federal forfeitures are civil, meaning the government can keep the seized property without ever charging the owner with a crime.

The DOJ announced earlier this year more than $6 billion in contracts awarded to multiple private companies to help with asset forfeiture investigations. Contractors are expected to help with everything from investigating and identifying assets for seizure to record keeping and providing courtroom testimony, according to DOJ records.

"These are six billion reasons we need civil forfeiture reform now," Alban said. "Congress must act to prevent law enforcement from treating ordinary Americans like ATMs."

Forfeiture generated more than $45.7 billion in revenue for the federal government alone between 2000 and 2019, according to IJ. Proceeds are often split between federal and local police agencies

"Federal forfeiture is a big business," Alban said. "And it's a particularly big business for the law enforcement agencies that get to spend the money out of these funds."

But critics like IJ argue innocent Americans are often targeted by forfeiture. Fighting to get seized property back is difficult and expensive since forfeiture effectively places the burden of proof on the property owner, not the government, and because it's a civil case, there is no right to a public defender, according to Alban.

DOJ eyeing Americans ‘like ATMs,’ spending over $6 billion to aid civil asset forfeitures, watchdog says

The DOJ approved billions in new spending on forfeiture investigations. Here's why a nonprofit law firm worries it could be bad news for average Americans.

Good to hear.

Going after the crooks.

Thanks for the post.

Wish the last administration had done that.

I guess you've never heard of civil asset forfeiture, which is a law in almost every state, including Republican ones. In fact, the GOP love these laws as they were put into place to combat drug dealers and cartels.

The laws are unconstitutional unless a judge orders property taken. Constitutionally the government at any level can't deprive you of life, liberty or property without due process. If they take property for public use without due process, the Constitution requires you be paid for it.

I guess you don't understand an ordered forfeiture as a result of a criminal conviction, is a totally different animal from them taking your property without a conviction of any nature.

Asset forfeiture is outright police abuse of the system. From the left who traditionally does not like cops with absolute power, it seems rather asinine that you would support this particular loophole.

I have always been against police asset forfeiture and one of the reasons I apposed Trump's appointment of Sessions as AG as he was a huge advocate for police level seizures in the south.

That said, perhaps I need to do more research on FBI level asset forfeiture as I expected that legal means like warrants etc were used in addressing corporate level crime...which is what the article even admits happened in it's example......"U.S. Private Vaults later pleaded guilty to money laundering, but neither Martin nor hundreds of other customers were charged with a crime".

I could have spoke to soon and will look into more.

Well, to be fair I may have as well. I have an aversion to any form of asset forfeiture.

It seems to me that the entire existence of asset forfeiture is simply to avoid having to deal with the constitution and the rights we have to protect us from an overbearing government. The only reason I can see the concept existing is to get around the fact that you have the presumption of innocence and the government cannot detain you indefinitely without actual charges. Both things that, AFAIK, the government can and does do using asset forfeiture.

The scope of the feds does make it less likely they will use it against some random guy driving down the road with 'to much money' on them but it also means that it is that much harder to deal with when wrongfully targeted. It is almost impossible to deal with the state troopers that do this shit, I cant imagine dealing with the feds.

Not. I was basing my statement in your context, not a direct quote.

You are still off. My "context" said nothing about not punishing criminals.
