Justice Department orders DEA to halt airport searches because of 'significant issues' with cash seizures
The Justice Department has ordered the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to suspend most searches of passengers at airports and other mass transit
"OIG Investigators found that the DEA paid one airline employee tens of thousands of dollars over the past several years in proceeds from cash seized as a result of their tips. However, the vast majority of those airport seizures aren't accompanied by criminal prosecutions. This has led to years of complaints from civil liberties groups that the DEA is abusing civil asset forfeiture—a practice that allows police to seize cash and other property suspected of being connected to criminal activity such as drug trafficking, even if the owner is never arrested or charged with a crime."
This is from ford “if you can’t entirely produce an automobile on your own from scratch without help and all of that computer shit you’d use, then you don’t have any money at all and a union is considered an army, if I ever died then you can bet your ass I’m in that union”
Drugs don’t even get sold in America or anywhere unless it’s like a 3rd world country (where they traffic a bunch in and none gets sold unless it becomes 3rd world and their own people or the random capitalist communist tribes no one killed start using it and it just goes on, until they seen a windows c code monitor on and then one drive documents was born lol, Usually prostitutes and singers/dancers used drugs, or people they can’t entirely enslave from scratch. And most of that money is fake counterfeit bills or they robbed a bank or anyone who was rich or poor and they stole durable goods and they pretend they sold drugs and sex trafficking and porn goes on with beer and restaurants, is it just me or is that all this looks like with different skin colored groups), like in saints row, it’s kind of developed but kind of not. We lived in saints row in 2003 when it started. Before that everything was legal and like religion or forced consumption by dictators or democracy.
This country is actually filled with extremely violent parasites. Especially when they can no longer attach. They’re usually around large amounts of tungsten because they were detached there by it, and we need some of it, so sell it then. We got viruses and bacteria everywhere like they were people living here.
Ah, I almost forgot about civil asset forfeiture... If the incoming regime ends up having any interest in appearances, and looking like they care about law and order, then keep an eye out for an increase in civil asset forfeiture cases.
What a roundabout way to say they've just been stealing people's money with no oversight or consequences.
Here's how I see this grift working:
-
DEA agent gets info about cash mule coming across, but can't get reward.
-
Airport employee in on con gets a phone call from agent
-
Report "tip" and gets reward
-
Agent gets commission
-
Rinse, repeat
Follow the reward money and see who needs a corruption trial.

On the one hand, that's really funny. On the other hand the libertarian assholes at Reason can get fucked.
Civil Asset Forfeiture is such a scummy concept.
"You aren't suspected of a crime, your money is. We need to take it into custody."
And then they get a new squad car two weeks later.
Don’t worry. Under Trump the DEA will soon cease to exist, solving this problem.
What? The DEA is needlessly cruel, while also corrupt and ineffective. The new administration might increase its funding.
The cruelty is the point.
Right? Trump is all about authoritarian BS and not about rights. If anything he’d expand the DEA.
You're suggesting that the Trump administration is going to defund the police...?
Good.
