Интересное чтение для любителей американской полиции

7 августа 2013
Много букв на английском, о том как американская полиция в мелком городке практикует что-то подобное легальному грабежу на большой дороге: *ссылка удалена*
Правда издание либеральное и можно бы списать это на местных Новодворских, но вот как комментирует это техасский танколюб и заодно местный правоохранитель:
"I guess it is all relative. In my county, it is d@mn near impossible to do a seizure for anything other than drugs, or occassionally money.
If I confiscate something, within 30 days, I shall have what is called a "Chapter 47" hearing. Now on the opposite side of that is Selma, Texas which for years financed its city budget with traffic tickets.
We had a chief (now gone thank G_d) in the small town I live in, that told his officers to ignore felony and misdemenor crimes, and Write Tickets, the city needs money!
If they did not turn in 10-30 tickets A DAY, they were disciplined. They tried to pull me over in my patrol car (unmarked) for 4 over the limit.
I explained that THEIR city was in MY county, and if they wanted a war with us, they would lose. Needless to say, I ended up in the Sheriff's Office for that one.
Seizures are the most abused of all law enforcement powers, period. No question at all. I know if we tried some of the sh*t that the Teneha officers did, we would rapidly be out of a job.
I would love to see the seizure laws "fixed", and rationalized. One way to do that is to make 50% or more of the seized funds, etc go to the State, and when they are losing that 50%, it rapidly becomes less fun. "
В общем всё как у людей.....
