Phil Williams of Nashville’s NewsChannel 5, WTVF-TV, one of the best TV investigative journalists in the country, has been doing particularly stellar work over the last several years on civil asset forfeiture in central Tennessee. He has continued that work with a series of reports this week.

A traffic stop along Interstate 40 is raising new questions about your constitutional rights. Among the questions: what happens to your right to say “no” to a search when police are looking for cash?

The traffic stop occurred west of Nashville, along a stretch of interstate in Dickson County that’s become well-known for a controversial practice known as “policing for profit.” . . .

This shit continues because not enough people who have been subjected to it go to the media with their stories.

The police use these tactics as a funding source,seizing cash from people who are never charged with a crime.

Most people don’t fight the seizures in court because -duh-the gestapo took all their money,they do not have the cash to hire a good attorney,miss multiple days of work due to repeated court appearances where nothing gets done,other than the .gov inc. police and prosecutors offering to make a “deal” and return half of the cash that was seized…remember-the person still has not been charged with any crime,the gestapo just took their money -usually because a “drug sniffing” dog “alerted” on their car. It’s a well known fact that these drug dogs are trained to “alert” on demand,and that rarely are any drugs found during these side of the highway gestapo searches.

The police and .gov inc. just use these seizures as a source of funding for their local SWAT teams,drug task farces…uhhh…forces,and donut supplies.

They are taking legally earned cash from citizens who have committed no crime-and the judges and court system-part of .gov inc. just ignores the violation of citizens rights that these seizures are.

Remember-these officers have complete control over you,your family-your property-and your money-they can take anything they want to from you-at any time-without ever charging you with a crime…

Think about that for a minute…let that sink in.

How would you feel if you were on your way to buy a new car,truck,piece of equipment for your shop or business-and the gestapo decides that YOU “fit the profile” of a “drug courier”-and all the cash you planned on buying that item with is just taken from you by the gestapo.

They just take your shit-and even though you are not charged with any crime-you have to hire an attorney,go to court,miss work,travel to whatever city or podunk town the gestapo took your money in-and there’s still no guarantee that you will get your money back.

This kind of shit is simply not supposed to happen in a free country-ever.

Taking peoples money and property without charging them with a crime is what third world dictators have their gestapo do-it is not supposed to happen here.

Too few people are aware of this taking place,those who do hear about it just assume that the gestapo is taking drug money-they’re not-they are taking money that people worked for-legally earned-then forcing them to go to court to even begin to think about having their cash returned to them.

The gestapo threatens to let the local news media know that your car was searched because the drug sniffing dog supposedly found drugs in your car-leaving out the fact that no drugs were ever found.

Just having their names associated with drugs can destroy some people’s businesses instantly. It is sickening that “law enforcement” in this country is even involved in shit like this-what happened to the oath these “law enforcement” officers took?

Why are judges allowing this to continue to take place?

This technique being used by the gestapo violates so many civil rights it’s absurd.

Yet it continues to happen ever day,on every interstate highway,in small towns off the interstates-where entire police departments are funded by the combination of speed traps,and seizing cash from those unlucky enough to have traveled to their shithole of a town.

Those who founded this country started the revolution over much less…
