I guess. In this case it's happening to a bunch of rich folks in Beverly Hills (literally) buying boxes from a seemingly-shady places called "US Private Vaults" (vs. say, the Wells Fargo down the street) that in fact appears to be under legitimate investigation.
My "cry me a river" reflex is twitching hard, sorry. Reason is silent for decades as cops everywhere snatch property from minorities, but they decide to take a stand for their rich donors[1]? Ugh.
[1] Per the article, the victim was a supporter. I'm not making this up. At least they disclosed it, I guess.
- sigstoat 5y ago> vs. say, the Wells Fargo down the street we've got other articles in this thread explaining how fewer and fewer local banks are offering safe deposit boxes, and they generally want out of the business. and indeed, how when they exit the business, they ship your stuff to a warehouse in alaska and lose it. so the business which does nothing but rent safe deposit boxes actually sounds like the reasonable place to do business with. > Reason is silent for decades as cops everywhere snatch property from minorities you're just making stuff up. https://reason.com/tag/civil-asset-forfeiture/ https://reason.com/tag/civil-asset-forfeiture/ they've absolutely been writing about it for decades.
- lamontcg 5y ago> Reason is silent for decades... That is a pretty lazy and false accusation. They're a libertarian rag so they produces pages of articles on this topic every year: https://reason.com/tag/civil-asset-forfeiture/ https://reason.com/tag/civil-asset-forfeiture/ Albeit they do have a tendency towards using very white people as victims.
