- potato3732842 2y agoThere are two ways that the abuses which happen at the intersection of government force and private business typically wind up making headlines and then getting scrutinized. First is someone dies. Either someone goes postal, an attractive woman kills herself, a sympathetic bystander who had nothing to do with it or perhaps an otherwise decent cop who's begrudgingly getting leveraged as muscle for the scam catches a bullet. More common is the victims of the scam pile up until some enterprising lawyer sniffs out a class action.

- insane_dreamer 2y agoI don’t either. How has this not been challenged as unconstitutional?
