I admit, it struck my funny bone.

Search warrants are “Letters of Marque”, which means you as the searching official get to keep some, and the government gets to keep some.

What could go wrong with those perverse incentives!

And let’s not forget the 10% For The Big Guy.

Well, the sad thing is, letters of marque used to be only used against a country’s enemies. So any abuses they engendered would at least be victimizing people you didn’t have a lot of sympathy for.

Now, we’re granting them against our own citizens.

Everyone with boxes in the building, even when the FBI didn’t know who they were or what they would find in the boxes?!?

“Theory: The reason the FBI doesn’t to return the vast majority of the cash and valuables is because... they ain’t got it no more!””

-———Truth-———————————

The government abandoned its forfeiture claims against the institute’s clients and finished returning seized property late last year, Johnson said.

“...We don’t have law enforcement anymore. We have privateers holding letters of marque..

Taking your money and essential papers without prof of crime sure looks illegal to me. How long do we have to put up with this. How in the world does one protect valuables that you worked so hard for? They raid homes and businesses and now they are taking things that you worked worked so had for your old age and something to leave your children.
