Now she's trying to seize a hotel worth 1.5 million because guests have committed drug related crimes.

Ah yes, the old "crimes have happened here, thus the owners are in on the crimes" property/asset forfeiture abuse the government NEVER abuses.


It's shit like this why I consider myself Libertarian.  mo state, mo problems.


There is nothing worse out there for the citizens of any country when bureaucrats such as this lose sleep over knowing people can make their own choices.

[iCEBREAKER]

As the prosecutor emphasized to the judge, the burden in this trial is on Caswell to prove he’s an innocent owner.

Such are the new Intolerable Acts, which are forming the basis for justifying a second American Revolution.

The King's Men will respect our Liberty, or die for their transgressions.

[sounds]

Ain't that the truth: the only reason bureaucrats fight against the rightful freedoms of the citizens is that they think they have something better.

They're fighting to establish fascism or a monarchy – still haven't learned the lessons of history.

Please: have the means to defend yourself. Be prepared. But oh, don't be the instigator of bloodshed. Our cause is just. There's nothing that needs to be proven. The usurpers will trip themselves up and reveal their true nature even without our help.

(Shooting somebody in the name of freedom would be just what Obama wants!)

Silly Americans.

It wil be interesting how this plays out, but honestly, it's really horrible. I won't even start to say what some people may do if the state take their property. For sure, that's not how you make friends..

Silly Americans.

Asset forfeiture is not an American only problem.

Asset forfeiture is not an American only problem.

What countries do it ? I have heard Argentina and Venezuela ?

It's wrong either way, and should be fought at all costs.

The way I see it, every government world wide is capable of it.

Whether through forced acceptance of compensation or outright confiscation of land.

Because 'crimes' were comitted on the property ?

[bpd]

It is as it ever was. "Legal plunder" is the aim of the state.

EMINENT DOMAIN ANYONE?? i feel bad for americans.

[Anon136]

any one want to go to Ms. Ortiz house with me to make a drug trade in her front yard so we can see if she will attempt to have her own property confiscated by the government?

No.

In Slovakia, the gov. stole the land from people to build a highway. 10 years ago. Some of the people still did not get any money.

Crime is everywhere.

Just the other day I went to a surgery room and a guy in a mask pulled a knife on me!

This does not apply in this case ?

Great news! Thanks for sharing. Well done on the motel owner to stand up against Ortiz.

Her spokeswoman declined comment on the Caswell case last night, saying prosecutors are reviewing the judge’s decision.

'Her spokeswoman' ? She can't speak for herself? Geez....

[iCEBREAKER]

Thank you again for the update.  So glad to hear that incompetent cunt got smacked down in court.

Were I the hotel owner or a surviving relative of Swartz, I would have sufficient standing to go after her bar card.

It wouldn't be easy, but discovery is a powerful tool. 

Prosecutorial immunity is not absolute.  Just ask old Mike Nifong!
