There is a growing trend among U.S. local city & state municipalities to use asset forfeiture to help finance their budgets & pay down debt
.. In a nutshell, civil forfeiture is the practice of confiscating items from people, ranging from cash, cars, even homes based on no criminal conviction or charges, merely suspicion
.. lots of this going on in especially Texas, Tennessee, Michigan
.. “A town of 150 people called Estelline Texas earns more than 89% of its gross revenues from traffic fines and forfeitures
.. If you think that example is just a one-off, think again. One of the most horrific instances of non-lethal police abuse last year was the story of David Eckert, the New Mexico man for whom a routine traffic stop turned into a nightmare of torture, including multiple involuntary anal probes. The police dog that ‘sniffed drugs’ and kicked off the entire episode wasn’t even certified to sniff for drugs in the state of New Mexico at the time. His certification expired two years earlier, but that didn’t stop local police from using it to harass and torture state residents.”
