As an outside perspective, how do you quantify, that only "Few cops and agents are bad". If your job contains robbing people, I would rationally word it the other way around. Hopefully there are quite a few cops who dont follow the rules and subvert the system of organized theft. But if you take policies like civil forfeiture or for example police union cards for family members this sounds like organized crime to quite a few people not living in the US.
- maxxxxx 8y ago"Hopefully there are quite a few cops who dont follow the rules and subvert the system of organized theft" There is no rule that says they have to do asset forfeiture. It's a choice. One of the biggest problems in the US is that laws are not very clear and clarification is left up to the courts.

- ridgeguy 8y agoI don't think it matters whether few or many cops or agents are bad. The source of harm is the forfeiture law. With such laws in place, even a single bad actor can do enormous damage. We need to repeal the civil forfeiture laws.
- acou_nPlusOne_t 8y agoCivil forfeiture laws are not all bad - they got africas law enforcement where it is today.
