Unfortunately you'll get about 50/50 sympathy here.  I think it absolutely needs to stop, as it's been proven time and again these guys are corrupt.  They can tell you they aren't, and some of them might even be nice individuals, but the institution is corrupt and needs to be gone.  When a branch of the government becomes immune from the law (i.e. I can tear your car up, violate you, steal your money without repercussions) while intimidating The People, that's tyranny.  

Just imagine, for every person this happens to that speaks out, there's 10 that didn't.

Posting cold links? I agree that it's a travesty!!


let me help you, guy..



I agree with you, the 'Cocaine Cowboys' who watch that stretch of I-40 are full-on power junkies. The Rutherford County Drug Task Force guys are just as bad, if not worse.

I agree, hearings to seize cash and property should only be able to proceed after a conviction in a criminal court of a crime related to drug possession.

It's utter bullshit and a complete embarrassment that a state as fine as Tennessee lets this practice exist anywhere within its borders. Shameful.
