At the time, police and courts gave themselves permission to manufacture and sell crack cocaine informally, despite this being very clearly illegal.
Currently, police and the courts with formal legislative backing give themselves permission to rob people, despite this being very clearly unconstitutional.
- eduction 2y ago> police and courts gave themselves permission That’s not how something becomes legal. Civil forfeiture is part of the legal codes in various states and has been left intact in its present state by the courts. Making crack is just something some police did. No law was ever passed saying they could do it. This ruling isn’t saying the laws on the books are good, or universally constitutional. It isn’t saying police will always stay within the constitution by following laws. It is simply saying that they are definitely not allowed to go outside the law. That’s the baseline standard of behavior the ruling established.
