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

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.

Yes, as much as I hate to admit it, you look ridiculous.

"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

6:02:43 PM 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!
6:04:26 PM Andy: Yeah, I mean, drugs, tankers of oil,prostitutes, no problem. But today's thug lacks the wherewithal to smuggle guns.
6:08:17 PM 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.
6:12:31 PM Andy: Like a lot of other industries, ambition and ingenuity are things of the past.

Twitter / Newsweek: RT @caro: Really interesti ...:

Come on guys. I cited Mark Gormley, Snopes, and claimed the fees came from Internet Cleaning! I even made mention of TinyURL’s prototype - ReallyShortURLs.com* - Clearly it’s a joke :)

* Get it? ReallyShortURLs.com. It’s long for no reason. So the goal was to make a short URL and he made it unnecessarily long. Oh nevermind!
