The only legal way to stop abuse of authority is if those with a higher level of authority put the abusers in handcuffs. So in this case the state prosecutors need to go after the town officials. If the abuse is at the state level then the FBI needs to come in and start arresting people. Otherwise, why would they stop?
- code_duck 4y agoLocal authorities work with Feds to do this, however. Civil asset forfeiture has been banned in various localities, but is still legal federally - so non-federal police arrange to have a Federal officer (DEA etc) on hand to take care of that part, and then a certain percentage is kept by the federal government and the rest given to the local authorities. So first it would need to be banned federally.
