DOJ Shuts Down Huge Asset Forfeiture Program

"" The Department of Justice announced this week that it's suspending a controversial program that allows local police departments to keep a large portion of assets seized from citizens under federal law and funnel it into their own coffers."

""The Department of Justice has announced a moratorium on splitting gains made from its civil asset forfeiture program with local law enforcement. Budget cuts of $1.2 billion made keeping the practice "impossible," the DOJ said, upsetting police groups.""

LE is really whining about this decision by the DOJ; the DOJ decision was due to budget cuts in the most recent spending bill.

Maybe fewer officers and less weapons aren't such a bad thing, considering how many people are killed by police every year. Less military equipment in the hands of mentally unstable power freaks can only be a good thing.

I read about that. Maybe I'm wrong but it just seems that the feds are keeping more money for themselves. I'm not sure that it will affect people all that much.

As for the whole thing to begin with...highway robbery, nothing but highway robbery.

    Which explains the mysterious fevers and my extra fatigue. I'm so glad I pushed for answers.

    Due to my increased paranoia, anxiety, and a panic attack over the weekend, my psychiatrist has put me back in a full dose of Zyprexa until further notice. Every time I think I'm getting ahead something happens and it's back to square one. I knew he was gonna do this but I can't help feeling disappointed. It is what it is.
