Armored Trucks & Civil Asset Forfeiture?

[Les White]

This is crazy. Sheriff's pulling over armored trucks picking up cash from a legal state dispensary, then seizing the cash.

Sheriffs Team Up With The Feds To Hold Up Armored Car Company, Civil Forfeiture Makes It Possible

A national armored car company that works with legal cannabis businesses and financial institutions has had funds seized by local and federal law enforcement. Federal civil forfeiture law is enabling this "highway robbery with badges."

I have no words.... not at all shocked but would love to see who ends up with what. Have seen some other very carefully presented asset forfeiture cases on property/ assets that were legally taken without recourse. They are just trying to get some needed stimulus money- - -

Impossible. They're the good guys. It's all misinformation and / or a conspiracy theory.

Maybe the liberals will finally start pushing for state's rights due to this since it is only possible due to it being illegal at a federal level.

New APCs incoming for those departments. This will be great for them when these places stop using the armored car service and deposit the cash themselves then armed robberies will increase and that will be a reason to increase budgets of these departments. It’ll be a great time, M60s in every patrol car.

Remember this is Kommifornia, Communists tend to steal from everyone.

Makes sense that it’s illegal on the federal level. It’s hard to push expensive drugs when a plant has effects like this.

We’ll see how it goes when citizens start seizing assets that were paid for by tax dollars and yeah, it’s eventually gonna start happening.

How can this happen if there are any good cops?

It’s getting a lot harder to “back the blue”, isn’t it?
