I’d say it’s criminal abuse of power.
Sadly, I don’t expect any thing as serious as even a slap on the wrist for this act that makes a joke out of the laws of the country.
- quantified 5y agoI’d go a step and say that civil asset forfeiture laws make a joke out of the country.
- jbuhbjlnjbn 5y ago"civil asset forfeiture laws". It's plain legalized stealing, no fancy wording could change that.
- sneak 5y ago> I’d say it’s criminal abuse of power. That's exactly what it is, but there's generally no enforcement against police in the USA, and there's definitely no real enforcement against federal police as a group in the USA. (Sometimes individual federal police get busted, but nothing happens to medium-to-large criminal conspiracies within the FBI/DEA/BATFE/etc.) It's a known bug that nobody with the power to fix really cares about fixing.
- landemva 5y agoUSSC created fiction of "government immunity", so government actors are generally allowed to make any mistakes they want. If someone had put a wheel loader in there and scooped up the boxes and contents, it would be criminal premeditated theft.
