Philadelphia is using an obscure law to take property away from innocent citizens. Through civil forfeiture, Philadelphia has been able to sieze propoerty if that property is even tenuously connected to law-breaking.

In one case, the Sourovelise family had a teenage son who sold about $40 worth of drugs outside their house. He was caught and ordered to mandatory rehab. A little while later, the police showed up and evicted the Sourovelises from their house. The police claimed that, under civil forfeiture law, the house was now the property of the city. Now, the Sourovelises are fighting to get it back.    Continue reading “Philadelphia Making Millions a Year on Civil Forfeiture”

Gun rights have been crushing federal court cases recently. Just last week a federal judge ordered the Department of Justice to turn over all documents related to the ATF’s Fast & Furious operation, and just yesterday a federal judge ruled that aspects of California’s 10 day waiting period were unconstitutional.

Today, we have yet another victory in Louisiana where a federal judge has ruled that a local Baton Rouge law banning firearms on the property of businesses that serve alcohol, even in the parking lot, is a violation of the Second Amendment.

According to NOLA.com, not only did the judge strike down the law, he also awarded the plaintiff in the case monetary damages,   Continue reading “Federal Judge Rules City’s Ban on Guns Bar Parking Lots is Unconstitutional”

A Dunedin boy’s lemonade stand is at the center of an ongoing controversy with a neighbor who says the operation is hurting his property value and disrupting his “quiet home and neighborhood.”

Entrepreneurial T.J. Guerrero, 12, opened the lemonade stand in his Dunedin neighborhood about two years ago. After careful market testing, he determined the best location was on the corner of Patricia Avenue and San Salvador Drive, between the hours of 3 and 7 p.m., the Tampa Bay Times reported.

Perry has pleaded not guilty to two felony charges of abuse of power. At least $80,000 in taxpayer dollars have been spent on his defense so far.   Continue reading “Perry: To deter grousing, state won’t pay lawyers”
