Highway Robbery in Progress: Desert Snow-trained Iowa State Trooper Justin Simmons carries out a shakedown.
It isn’t often that honest people receive detailed
intelligence about a planned gathering of violent men who steal for a living
and kill with impunity. An event of that kind will occur from August 10-12th
here in Idaho.
In fact, I can provide the specific address of the armed robbers’ summit -- 700 South Stratford Drive in Meridian. The location is conspicuously marked and easy to find: It is the Idaho Peace Officers Standards and Training (POST) Academy, which will host a two-day session of Desert Snow’s “Phase 2015” asset forfeiture workshop.

“Civil asset forfeiture,” for the mercifully uninitiated, is
a procedure in which police officers and the agencies that employ them steal
money and property from people who have never been convicted of a crime, and
quite often never face criminal charges. The agency designates the desired
property as “proceeds” of illicit activity and then files an “in rem” civil
lawsuit against it – not the owner of
the property, but the property itself.
In this process, the burden of proof is placed on the victim, rather than the
perpetrator.
