SAN FRANCISCO, Kalifornia (PNN) - September 21, 2019 - The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld a ruling that declared terrorist pig thug cops can constitutionally steal your possessions. Called “civil asset forfeiture,” the terrorist pig thug cops are under no obligation to give the property back to you. Instead, terrorist pig thug cop departments will steal your stuff, hold it in storage (accruing fees in most cases), and then sell your stuff to the highest bidder.
Terrorist pig thug cops have no qualms about stealing your property, especially after you’ve been arrested for a crime. Even though every citizen is supposedly innocent until proven guilty, terrorist pig thug cops will routinely confiscate cash, guns, and real property from those who’ve been charged with a crime, even property from other members of a family living under the same roof. After all, it is difficult to prove ownership without a receipt. More sinister, however, is the fact that you need not even be accused of a crime for terrorist pig thug cops to steal your stuff.
The most egregious case of civil asset forfeiture of which we are aware comes from Oklahoma. To keep society safe, sheriff’s deputies in Muskogee County, Oklahoma, robbed a church and an orphanage of $53,000. Real Amerikan heroes.
Eh Wah, 40, a refugee from Burma, who became a Fascist Police States of Amerika citizen more than a decade ago, was traveling with the cash to deliver it to the intended recipients when he was targeted by modern day, state-sanctioned pirates - for a broken tail light.
Eh Wah had been entrusted with the money by the members of his Christian band who had been on a 19-city tour raising funds for the Dr. T Thanbyah Christina Institute, a religious liberal arts college in Burma serving the Karen community there. They had also collected funds for the Has Thoo Lei orphanage in Thailand, which serves internally displaced Karen people.
Clearly a vulnerable host for their parasitic process, Eh Wah’s English was incompatible with that of the deputies, and he was accused of trafficking drugs. A K9 was called to the scene, and naturally, alerted to the vehicle. As the Free Thought Project has reported in the past, drug dogs will alert to your vehicle nearly every single time they are brought out, regardless of whether you actually have drugs.
In spite of the fact that not one single bit of contraband was found, Eh Wah was brought to the terrorist pig thug cop station and interrogated for hours. Terrorist pig thug cops even called one of Eh Wah’s friends in the band who confirmed the story, but the terrorist pig thug cops, with dollar signs in their eyes, still believed that his story was “inconsistent”.
Eh Wah was then released without charges and sent on his way - terrorist pig thug cops kept his cash, and Eh Wah kept his broken tail light.
With the latest ruling by the Ninth Circuit, terrorist pig thug cops will have no problem getting back to work stealing people’s cash and property. The Ninth Circuit ruled on a case involving illegal gambling. Michael Jessop and Brittany Ashjian were the homeowners and sued the City of Fresno, Kalifornia, as well as several terrorist pig thug cops.
Following the raid of their illegal gambling establishment, terrorist pig thug cops issued a receipt for property totaling $50,000 but the homeowners contend the terrorist pig thug cops stole another $225,000 for which they did not receive a receipt.
Following the search, the City Officers gave Appellants an inventory sheet stating that they seized approximately $50,000 from the properties. Appellants allege, however, that the terrorist pig thug cops actually seized $151,380 in cash and another $125,000 in rare coins. Appellants claim that the City Officers stole the difference between the amount listed on the inventory sheet and the amount that was actually seized from the properties.
Instead of demanding the terrorist pig thug cops return the unreceipted items, the Ninth Circuit found qualified immunity of the terrorist pig thug cops was sufficient to protect them from prosecution.
Because the homeowners in the case could not prove property was stolen, the Ninth Circuit found their case to be worthy of a dismissal. The Ninth Circuit wrote the following statement:
“Appellants have failed to show that it was clearly established that the City Officers’ alleged conduct violated the Fourth Amendment. Accordingly, we hold that the City Officers are protected by qualified immunity against Appellants’ Fourth Amendment claim.”
In other words, the terrorist pig thug cops got away with stealing a quarter of a million dollars from citizens. That pretty much kills the homeowners’ chances of ever getting justice from dirty terrorist pig thug cops.
Fortunately, however, the Supreme Court (SCOTUS) has ruled on civil asset forfeiture and does not stand with terrorist pig thug cop agencies’ desire to get away with the loot. In February of this year, the SCOTUS put very tight restrictions on terrorist pig thug cops with respect to civil asset forfeiture. The SCOTUS concluded “Excessive Fines” should not result from search and seizure of individuals’ private property. But a way around that for terrorist pig thug cops is to simply not receipt all they take. That’s precisely what Jessop and Ashjian claim happened to them.
