Georgia or South Carolina?
[why not both meme]
But cops can still pull you over, seize your car and sell it, right?
Just checking.
I used to go through small Georgia towns where the cop cars had signs on them bragging that they were purchased with firearms funds seized from passing motorists.
I’m low-key annoyed that the article links to part 3 of the series but not part 1.. Who does that??
So here’s part 1 if anyone wants to read it
When are we going make this illegal goddamm it. Fucking constituent says they can't just search your car.
It is already unlawful. As you point out the practice of civil asset forfeiture is anathema to the Constitution, the supreme law of the land. It is on the people of SC and America to give those words strength, otherwise they're simply spilled ink.
Gop Billionaires propaganda shilling against police ?
Reason is consistently libertarian, so they're pro-billionaire but anti-cop.
