Mike Bloomberg guilty of over seeing largest tax payer abuse of dollars ever but some folks wonder if NSA challenging him? Yes fight terrorism but is nsa pulling a Trailblazer 2?
My Sanatonio.com has a nice twist this past week on Government and Greed + asset seizure.If you think your being stalked by NSA its the money that really matters...the Government seems to just be able to take it!
"The government is going seizure crazy,"
"Fifteen federal agencies have the power to seize assets. Over the past dozen years, those agencies have taken more than $20 billion in cash, securities and other property from scruffy drug dealers, pinstriped Wall Street tycoons — and ordinary Americans who have not committed crimes."
"While the practice has increasingly targeted cybercrime, Wall Street scams and global money-laundering, it has also also snared individuals ill-equipped to fight the seizure of their assets — and in several recent cases, judges have chastised the government for overreaching and targeting innocent citizens."
"The New Mexico branch of the American Civil Liberties Union succeeded in getting nearly $17,000 in cash returned to an African-American father and son, Steven Skinner and Jonathon Breasher, whose money was seized with no evidence of criminal wrongdoing after a traffic stop."
CityTime crime, when indicted Gerard Denault's asset where frozen and seized making legal defense cost prohibitive? Denault sued SAIC on won on valentine's Day to pay the legal bill...seizing assets racks havoc on a defendants ability to defend against the government even if guilty.
Guilty and no process when your broke.
