From one of my other posts:

In that time, he enacted some kind of martial law which extended his presidency indefinitely, until the terorrism was stopped. But, unbeknownst to us all, he, his cabinet and his administration were the ones which funded and provided the means for the terorrists to go through with their actions. This was all done in an effort to keep him and his cronies in power, as well as whoever is the real mastermind behind his administration....

So, Pred, I have the same concerns as you.

California State Supreme Court: Cities can't seize cars

By PAUL ELIAS

The Associated Press

SAN FRANCISCO

"A sharply divided state Supreme Court ruled Thursday that cities can no longer seize automobiles whose drivers are arrested for allegedly buying drugs or soliciting prostitutes. The ruling overturns the laws of more than two dozen cities from Oakland to Los Angeles that allowed police to seize an automobile immediately after the driver's arrest."

This is nothing new...I remember about 12 years ago, the dea confiscated a $12,000,000 luxury yatch because the coast guard found a single joint in the crews quarters.

100's of boats were confiscasted (and left to rot) when the cuba boat lift went down, all from innocent boat owners who just wanted to help those people leave cuba and come to freedom.

everyday hundreds of homes are confiscated and sold for being late on the tax bill.

if you think all of this is bad.....wait til "homeland security gets rolling!" You ain't seen nothing yet!
