The crazy perversities of civil asset forfeiture. - By Radley Balko - Slate Magazine

These private attorneys, unaccountable to the public, are making decisions about which cases to go after that directly affect their own personal wealth. Steven Kessler, a New York attorney and author of a treatise on state forfeiture laws, says he’s never heard of anything like it. “This is scandalous,” Kessler told me in a phone interview. “It’s blatantly unconstitutional.”

Surprised? Not really.

When you're heroes come crashing down to earth
"F.B.I. Charges Arms Sellers With Foreign Bribes - Including Smith and Wesson VP of Sales" - http: //www.nytimes.com/2010/01/21/business/21sting.html
Mark Percival: It just takes away from allure of the industry. Here I would have expected the Smith and Wesson guy to simply pass them along to his vast underground arms dealing network. Nicholas Cage lied to me!
Andy: Yeah, I mean, drugs, tankers of oil,prostitutes, no problem. But today's thug lacks the wherewithal to smuggle guns.
Mark Percival: It's sad really - our arms dealers today consist of a middle management sales douchebag living in the suburbs, driving a mid-priced car, who is more concerned about his 401k than doubling up on a couple african prostitutes and doing blow in a low-rent African nation.
Andy: Like a lot of other industries, ambition and ingenuity are things of the past.

Are you insane?! You’re throwing away your entire VHS collection? That’s a perfectly good copy of Executive Decision in there.
