Police confiscating Americans’ hard earned cash, as well as a wide variety of other valuables, without an arrest or conviction is a disturbing and growing practice throughput these United States. Since cops get to keep the seized funds and use the money on pretty much anything they want, the practice is becoming endemic in certain parts of the nation. The theft is often referred to simply as civil forfeiture, or civil asset forfeiture. Incredibly, under civil forfeiture laws your property is incredibly “guilty until you prove it innocent.”   Continue reading ““Common People Do Not Carry This Much Currency” – How Police Justify Stealing American Citizens’ Money”

A family is suing a police department after a traffic stop ended with officers smashing a car window and using a Taser. The episode was caught on cellphone camera by the driver’s 14-year-old son who was on the back seat. Lawyers for Lisa Mahone and her boyfriend Jamal Jones say excessive force was used during the Sep. 25 incident in Hammond, Indiana, which began when Mahone was stopped and ticketed for not wearing a seat belt.

In the video, officers ask Jones, who was in the passenger seat, to show his ID. However, he did not have his license on him. Officers then appear to draw guns and order him out of the car, prompting Mahone to call 911. The video shows police smashing the passenger window and using a Taser on Jones. Lawyers say two children suffered minor cuts from flying glass. The lawsuit alleges excessive force, false arrest and battery. Attorney Dana Kurtz said the lawsuit “seeks to hold police accountable to this type of unnecessary violence can stop.”   Continue reading “Cops Smashed Window, Tasered Passenger in Traffic Stop: Lawsuit”

EbolaNatural News – by Mike Adams

Right now is the perfect time to point out the gross contradiction in the U.S. government’s policies on supposedly preventing the spread of communicable disease. Across the board, children who are unvaccinated against diseases that don’t even exist in America anymore – such as polio — are loudly condemned as “a threat to public health” and often barred from attending public school.

The logic goes like this: An unvaccinated child might easily catch polio and then spread it to other children. Therefore, that child should be barred from attending public school.   Continue reading “U.S. govt: Foreigners with risk of Ebola are safe to cross the border, but unvaccinated U.S. children are a threat to public health”
