You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
Seizing personal property should be illegal. It is an abuse of the constitution.
ReplyDeleteThese stories would be hilarious if not so tragic. JM has spent his life fighting a losing war with a strategy that has failed miserably. Our drug problem is worse than ever. But John got paid lots and now he'll be coronated and ride out the rest of his days in leisure. The joke is on taxpayers. Hilarious, right?
ReplyDeleteConfiscation of assets not directly connected to crimes, is unconstitutional, and allowing any police department or other law enforcement to use this money for their own uses is a recipe for corruption.

ReplyDeleteAbsolutly correct Forfiture laws should be revoked
Seizing assets directly related to crime is not only constitutional, but goes right back to deodand principles followed in our common law. What's arguably unconstitutional is taking the asset of an innocent third party, but Morganelli stays away from that sort of thing. He only goes after property owned by the dealer, and that is both authorized by statute and constitutional.
ReplyDeleteThey need to bring back the deodand laws. People who want to own stuff that kills people is creepy...
ReplyDeleteLook out BristolMyersSquibb, Pfizer, Merck, GlaxoSmithKline, Johnson&Johnson
ReplyDeleteI look forward to the confiscation of these (peoples) assets... something tells me they will only be fined.

First off, this is a horrendous 1980's "war on drugs" stunt that M can't let go of. This is the kind of stuff that Democrats were not looking for in 2016. Second, how does he know what is an "ill gotten gain" and what isn't? If my spouse is secretly selling drugs, the DA comes and takes all of MY things? Shameful.
ReplyDeleteOne of the problems I see is taking away someone's assets disabling them to mount a proper defense sometimes before they are proven guilty.
