yep, no license and you have to deal with the cop in the video
No state issued permits, licenses, fees, taxes and tributes to king george and you have to deal with his redcoats. After all, those are things that have made america great
The look on the vendors face is priceless as the cop steals the money right from his wallet. If only the state knocked on your door and took its tax dollars from you like this, people might better recognize taxation=theft
To me, civil asset forfeiture is a travesty of justice. It is completely unnecessary.
Do I think this police officer abused the practice? it is tricky to answer. The police, on the whole, could care less. They're getting paid the same wage either way. It's not greed on the part of police officers which motivates these laws.
Actually 81% of assets seized go back into the police departments budgets so the police have motivation to do this sort of thing.
And the bill going through congress only deals with federal seizures or money shared between local police and the feds it will do nothing to curb abuses on a local level.
So calling it evidence means it was no longer taken without permission a.k.a. stolen? Progressive word games are fun.
no it's a serious question, did he enter it into evidence. The vendor was operating illegally and generating ill gotten gains subject to confiscation. If the cop entered it into evidence he was 100% doing his job and there was no theft. To say otherwise is slanderous

I would imagine if the hot dog vendor was arrested and his hot dog cart confiscated then the money could be taken. If he was only given a ticket and the cart not taken away I can't see how the cop can take money out of his pocket.
How was it determined that the $60 was from the Hot Dog sales and just money he had?
Take something without permission= steal
Costumes and badges dont magically change it.
Nope.
Taking something without the legal authority to do so is stealing. Permission has nothing to do with it. But you knew that. Again with the trolling.
