- rebuilder 2y agoIt creates an incentive.

Many of them are or were basically cops themselves. It's very hard to recognize when your own people have become the bad guys. This is what we came up with checks and balances and separation of powers for, but I guess Congress is checked out on this one.

It might actually also make things worse, as local cops only get a small kickback, they need to confiscate more to get to the same levels for themselves.
