- msandford 11y agoDoesn't do you any good if you're dead or impoverished as a result of your civil asset forfeiture, or things of that nature. Just because some people are able to get justice when their rights are violated, it doesn't automatically mean that the system works. It just means that some people are able to get justice.
- cryoshon 11y agoYeah, but you have no power to make sure that bad actors get fired and charged. They can fuck with you. You can beat the charge, but not the ride. They will not get comeuppance for sending people on rides.
- pjc50 11y agoNot if you're dead.
- marssaxman 11y agoYou MAY have power to respond later, assuming the police officer has not killed you, but that right is of little use unless you can prove that the police officer is lying about what happened, since the court will always believe their testimony over yours. Meanwhile, you are likely to have been injured, impoverished, and/or imprisoned; the best you can hope for is that the "justice" system will agree to stop punishing you. The officer will face no consequences regardless of the outcome. Some "power" that is.
