This is a great thing. There have been so many cases in the state of Nebraska where someone is pulled over for “following too close,” which is the State Patrol’s SOP for wanting to nab someone, just because they have out of state plates.
I know this because it’s happened to me after we first moved here. (Except they didn’t seize my enormous, ok, my ten dollars in cash)
The SP will then approach the vehicle, say they smelled pot or saw something that warranted a search of the vehicle.
Some times they find something, like a giant bundle of cash. SP wants that money in the worst way, so, they claim it’s drug money and seize it. Even though they have absolutely zero proof of anything other than “nobody carries around that much cash unless they’re a drug dealer.
Victim then has to go to court for an extended period of time, costing them yet even more money to try and prove that the money is legal.
It’s a complete fucking scam. The State Patrol knows it, the people know it, and the overreaching commie ass fucks in the legislature know it.
There used to be a pretty good size median under a bridge on my way home from work. The SP was notorious for sitting there just waiting to pull people over. Chances are, if they weren’t waiting under the bridge for their next victim, it was because they had a vehicle with out of state plates pulled over a mile in either direction.
Yet there are all kinds of people even on this site that try to claim the police are so good & all and there is only the rare bad apple... well sorry you know about this kind of BS going on and stay in an organization doing such things, you are a willing participant and just as guilty... Not my idea, it's actually the same law they use against others.... I bet they don't like it used on them.
Policing for profit is something I care deeply about, it has destroyed the foundation of this country and the trust in those who once were "public servants". But all the "good" cops seem to look the other way and claim "just following orders".
I'm so sick and fed up with the stupid complicit communist courts always letting the police get away with everything and saying well.... they said they smelt something.... so it must be true...
Some of the things that went down in this country recently, including in Texas, whole towns devoted to pretty much being highway robbers... and the courts did nothing except finally say.... please don't do it again.... no penalties for those doing it, no restitution for those robbed of their property at gunpoint on the side of the road.... dirty cops get to keep all their ill gotten gains as does the corrupt towns & cities....
The government should not be allowed to touch anything unless they can first get an actual real criminal conviction and prove that it is ill gotten gains. Just like the rotten FBI shouldn't be allowed to charge anyone with "lying" to them unless they FIRST get a conviction that the person actually did the crime and then they could go after them for lying to them about it. But that would really put a crimp in the lying FBI agents style.
That whole BS the vile courts let stand about ... "Well we say the inanimate objects are the criminal party and since it's not the person it has no rights" is something straight out of the book of the devil.
It's why pretty much I dislike any "State Patrol" or "Highway Patrol", because in my experience it is pretty much usually just a group dedicated to policing for profit and actually often making the roads more dangerous trying to find ways to get more revenue.
Sometimes yes they might actually be doing good and helping someone, but the ratio is low in my experience.
In a quarter of a century of driving, I properly curse them in the name of my God as I drive by when I see them doing what I think is greed & harassment for profit and properly bless them in the name of my God when I see them helping someone or doing what I think is good.
The ratio is well very lop sided towards the curses. Your mileage may vary.
