Law enforcement agencies across North Carolina have received almost $300 million over the last two decades by partnering with the federal government to seize people's money, regularly doing so without ever charging those people with any crimes.
Opponents call it "policing for profit."
Bipartisan legislation making its way through Congress would end this controversial practice. The bill's sponsor believes the Mint Hill Police Department cash seizure WCNC Charlotte recently exposed makes the case for why the current law needs to change.

Today I learned that there are (apparently) no consequences for ignoring a court order.

The fact that the cops can just take all the money in my pocket *without even charging me with a single crime* is terrifying.

This woman should get an order of enforcement against the Mint Hill police, walk in with a team of Sheriff deputies and confiscate as many assets as they can carry and drive away with. Civil asset forfeiture turns police into an organized crime ring.

If I were dumb enough to travel with any sizable amount of money & if I were pulled over for whatever & my money seized, that cop would have to arrest me, believe me! No different than a hold-up!

Sounds a lot like money laundering.

EVERYONE will have to answer to God one day. Justice is coming, wrath is coming. Find yourselves hanging out to with Jesus, repented, and doing the Lords will. Or, forbid it be too late, find yourselves weeping, and gnashing your teeth. There is a consequence for your actions, the Lord doesn't care what your title is down here, you will reap what you have sown. Better lock arms with Christ Jesus. This clip here is no shocking news, the world has turned away from God yet again. The days of Noah are back, Sodom and Gomorrah is back, few will be saved, then death and destruction. Find yourselves on the ark. Correction is coming. Tsunamis, war, famine, a catastrophe that has never been before or after, is coming. It's what we deserve. Get right or get left. Do not let this news blow your mind, it is no new thing, but the devil is picking up speed. I say to you do not be distracted now. We ARE the generation. It's going down ‼️Urgent warning‼️JESUS IS COMING.
