Indiana police use state law to steal money without cause

This isn’t crime fighting. It’s an actual crime — a blatant, naked theft carried out by officers, Libertarian Party Chair Evan McMahon writes.

(edit) Would someone please ship some counterfeit money through there and get it confiscated, so the police can then be investigated for spending counterfeit money?

    Unfortunately your suggestion will most likely just lead you to be investigated for counterfeiting money

      The sender would be anonymous of course. Normally the recipient cannot be anonymous (has to reach them), but in the case at hand the destination could indeed be a bogus address because the whole point is for it to not reach its destination. Name the GOP or some republican party HQ as the recipient.

    It’s not just the police action that’s disturbing. It’s the lack of transparency. FedEx cares about their own profits, so they have a disincentive to inform customers about what dogs in their hub are sniffing for. We only have this info because of journalists. That’s fucked up. Normal non-criminals should be informed about the risks of their lawful transaction. FedEx should have informed the jewelers of the risks.
