Tennessee Police Operate Shakedown Scheme for Profit

The police across this country can do just about anything under the guise of the war on drugs. Whether you have ever touched drugs in your life, or not- we are all suspects in the War on Drugs!

Tennessee State Police have implemented a program where any significant amount of cash can be summarily confiscated as suspected drug money! During a time of increased fiscal discipline, will the "authorities" take their foot off the pedal of the drug war? Hell no, this racket is profitable! The state will devise new ways for the police to be self-funded, and this means by squeezing you!

Now this is some actual investigative journalism, entitled: "Policing for Profit"

Counties across this country have these Drug Task Forces, and they cause more problems than they solve. It's time to end this war on drugs, and get the police back into the business of protecting citizens, rather than shaking them down for cash! They will allow the drugs into your neighborhood; anyway, while spending all the time trying to confiscate the drug money! If you want your rights back, it's time to end this war on drugs!

[Herbert Hemp]

OH COME ON NOW ! Don't tell me every dollar makes it back to the station.Cops R criminals & they stash money in their vehicle until they can transfer it to their personal vehicle.It's so obvious ! Some organization (Barry Copper) should set up reverse stings to catch pigs in thee act of pocketing money.When a set amount of cash has been seized comes back to the station a little lighter,that's when the pig goes to jail and becomes someones bitch.CASE CLOSED ! WE ARE LIVING IN A POLICE STATE !

@ 3:25 ques. If these officers don't come up with cash they loose their jobs? answer "YES" I can't believe he admitted that. Proof that this is a police state,(police state definition: the govt. exercises rigid and repressive control over the social, ECONOMIC,& political life of the population)[wikipedia] these ppl have gone crazy.

Cops in Tennessee have caused every single problem Tennessee has ever had. Sexual deviancy is tolerated among the whose who and lied about when they want to stick somebody they dont like with a heavy stigma or keep them from employment.

We need a police department that defends the people and our constitution.
