Thank you for speaking about this case, Steve! We look forward to continuing the fight to end Wayne County’s unconstitutional vehicle forfeiture racket once and for all.
The Supreme Court needs to correct itself and end Civil Asset Forfeiture and call it what it is: Robbery under the color of authority without due process that circumvents the presumption of innocence that we all have a right to....And two other things: 1) A police force should be absolutely liable for the actions and activities of their employees while at work and 2) Those employees should also be liable personally for those transgressions....
Sounds like organizing victims and anyone in support to take appropriate actions, up to demanding these crooked politicians to change behavior or vacate their positions. If they don’t listen go into each public office and order them out. Everyone record and those who can broadcast live do so and ask for anyone available to show up, show up. You can’t retreat and be afraid of arrest of retaliatory force. In doing this you cannot use violence back. Let them continue to show their true colors. More and more good people will join your cause until, these out of line and a touch employees, will either do their job in the best interest of their community members or they should be taken and responded to as the evil and insane with disregard, disrespect, and degradation they have made abundantly clear their actions communicate to their bosses and community members. Effective revolutions exist and transform evil only with moral boundaries, courage, steadfastness, sacrifice, solidarity, continued resistance, and absolute persistence of a goal to ensure the children of this have absolute freedom and security from bullies and psychopaths that live in their minds reality without regard to you and I. Remind them who they work for and easily they can be replaced. Chop that peristalsis their ego as put them on, one hack at a time.

For those wondering, a skid steer is also known as a skip loader; its a small tractor that is transported on a trailer, so in order for a person to take a skid steer, their vehicle would need a ball hitch, something not usually found on a Camero.
A skid steer would break the suspension of a Camaro. Plus, it wouldn't fit in the hatch anyways. Lmao I'm wondering if they confused a skid steer with a pallet jack. That would be way more feasible. The premise of what started this whole case is absurd.
To the cops it's a cover up .. To the lawyers it's a game ... To the news it's a story... Butl peoples lives are turned upside down by these criminals with badges. They need to start going to prison for their actions.
If you think about it, cops are paid way too little to do what they do and go through on their jobd. Plus how they are all treated and scrutinized for their work which one can only care so much about a job where your underpaid, overworked and have to risk everything everyday.. the ptsd nobody sees.. so I understand police agencies trying to get a little extra when they can but doing it from the public who are just as undrpaid is not right.. even though if they see it as like a mob style payment.. meanwhile all these brick heads are screaming to defund the police.. what do you think will happen when they make even less money? Like teachers, keep lowering their pay then youll have less of them and the ones you do have will be worth a fart on a taco.. army vets get to go do the same shit as the police except their time is over when they get back able to retire or serve their expected time of 4,8,12 or 20 years then get that check to live with the ptsd but theyre respected more than the police but in my opinion the police are needed more than any grunt is for some bullshit war the government is sending them on so those greedy fuckers can get a little extra for themselves … its all about money and greed will take over most people. Ive seen people do some off handed shit just for them to get the extra 25¢ an hour.. just saying.. yes there are some bad cops out there but theres a way to stop there being so many of them and have nicer more helpful cops around without giving up our rights..
My wife got a speeding ticket in Eau Claire, Wisconsin by a cop who was tailgating her. I was following them at the same speed and know 100% she was not speeding so we decided to fight the ticket. Come the day of the traffic hearing, we found out that the cop coincidentally rescheduled the hearing and didn't show up. Hmmm...maybe because he knew he was lying 🤥

These civil asset forfeiture stories have led me to come up with a law. When you enter a public space you must be notified which of your civil rights are suspended when you enter that space.
“When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it.” ― Frédéric Bastiat
"Making sure they can't do this to anyone else." Well that won't happen until they start actually prosecuting the government officials, especially with criminal charges. The corruption will continue until the law resumes.
Encyclopedia Brittanica should do the trick. Failing that, the McMaster-Carr or Grainger print catalogs are great for getting the point across. Law books would be wasted in the physical application--use them for the figurative application.
It's weird that the government keeps Civil Asset Forfeiture in the law despite how many Constitutional amendments it violates. Also, in case anyone was wondering, a "skid steer" is, in layman's terms, a Bobcat (technically Bobcat is a brand name for a company that primarily sells skid steer loaders).
The City of Jerseyville, IL is at it again. They gave a permit to my competitor to host an outside event, a car and semi-truck show, in which they closed the road. Neither I or my tenants were able or allowed to access our property. They had people with canopies, walking, standing, sitting in lawn chairs and on the ground, parked on and driving on my 2 properties. I went up there to mow and maintain my properties and could not get anywhere near them. My 5 tenants could not get to their property. This was the 2nd time he did this. The city would not give me a permit to host an outdoor event in 22 years, and they gave him 2 permits in 2 years. I called the cops and the cops told me that I did not own my property. The cops stood by and allowed several people to do burnouts in the streets, marking up the pavement in front of my property, just for spite. The guy that owned the trucks told me to come back tomorrow to mow, like he owned the properties and me. That is going to be the most expensive benefit and car show in history. We will see if the 5th and 14th Amendments have any teeth in a federal court. That is the way the Cartel Leaders are up there; They think they own everything and everyone, can do whatever they want, and the city protects them. Is the city going to pay for all the lawsuits, attorney fees, judgements, damages, and hopefully punitive damages? I doubt it. I will take cash and assets; show trucks, real property... at yard sale prices. They took everything from me, and they killed an employee's family...now I take theirs. Now their pattern of practice will be exposed.
For the life of me, aside from sheer avarice of government, I cannot, for the life of me, figure out how CAF was not only declared legal in the first place, but wasn't declared un-Constitutional years ago.
You are one honest cool lawyer ⚖ I really appreciate everything you try to do for us normal try to be good citizens. You seem to never give up on trying to help someone. Thanks for keeping us up to date on what's happening in this cold cruel predatory un justice system.
I bet this even happens in other county`s too. This prosecutor and the entire police force should be fired and put in jail for their corruption. The people of this county should be out in full force to oust these criminals. Even run the bunch of them out of town . Pick up arms against these tyrants. This should also go to the FBI and the SCOTUS.. Any lawyer involved with violating and making up false charges should be fired and placed in jail. Doesn`t a judge have to sign off on a warrant to take some ones property ? If so, that judge should also be placed in jail. When will American start to stand up to all of these tyrants ? Our rights are being taking away slowly. The so called justice system , does not protect the citizen, it protects the cops, courts and governments. American citizens have the power to stop this crap. We need to do what our ancestors did, Pick up arms and defend ourselves and the Constitution. If we don`t, this type of justice system will even get worse. George Orwell , had it right in his book " 1984 ". This is starting to become a reality. Also a skid steer is also called a bobcat. This type of machine can only be put in a cars trunk , if it is a small toy. A real one needs a trailer with dual axles. Keep up the good work Steve. Americans must be informed about all of these violations of rights and the injustice system that we have now.
In a case like this, could the judge be called as a witness and asked for an expert opinion on the merits of the prosecution? Under questioning the judge might get the chance to reveal a blunt opinion about the meritless prosecution that would normally never be revealed.
You tell me someone stole a skid steer from Home Depot and my first question will be, "Home Depot sells skid steers???". My second question would be, "Was it a toy for a child?"
Seems to me the entire county government needs a personnel overhaul, judges, cops, clerks, attorneys, the whole bunch of them that don't wind up in jail.
@@chrissauter7501 A government alleges that an object was used in committing a crime and seizes it. The suit is filed as "The State of Missouri vs. a truck," and SCOTUS accepted the argument that this is permissible because it's an action against property and not against a person.
The Wayne County Prosecutor is a piece of work. We lived in Gross Pointe Park. My child was at the pool. A white woman with tattoos from her neck to ankles told her kids to get out of the pool because the black kids were making the water dirty. She went to the park manager who called the police. The woman admitted making racist comments. My child and the other children were told by the cop to apologize to the woman or lose their park pass. The park manager and chief of police said the woman's comment wasn't derogatory. I said I needed to get a call from the city attorney. I received a call from the county prosecutor who defended the woman, cop, park manager and police chief that the comments weren't racist. My child is mixed. I'm as white as you can get. I'd like to hear your stories about Wayne County.
So the Institute for Justice actually works to help people, unlike that large Southern legal group that exists solely for making baseless claims and raising money.
one thing I strongly dislike is that people hide behind titles and offices. All these miscreants have names. we need to know them to hold them accountable for their criminal, unconstitutional actions. WHAT ARE THE NAMES? DA's are usually elected, and they can be be unelected.
Living in Wayne county it is not just Wayne that is the issue, many of the Counties in and around Michigan keep people in Jail to force them into admittance of a crime. Have seen several people getting held for non crimes, and told them do not plead to anything. The prosecutors want to prove themselves by getting a plea for anything they accuse people of so as to look good. Have 2 friends in Jail for over 2 years each, an now have nothing left, and still have not gone to court. Last time went before the Judge, prosecutor stated the Friend refused to admit guilt or take a plea, Friend stated he wouldn`t as he had not broken the Law and would not lie for a plea deal.
So if police take a car but don't file any paperwork or charges, isn't that theft? Couldn't they be reported for theft? And if the local prosecutors won't take the case, isn't that a place for a private criminal prosecution?
Agreed. People took my car without my permission. I report it stolen, as I never gave anyone permission to take it. I record all contact with my insurance and other interested parties.
thanks to Steve. I've sent 0ver $100 to the Institute for Justice thanks to Steve...But I do not support moneys going to religious schools with tax dollars !
So let me get this right. They stole his car and money from him. Then when he sued them, they gave him the car and money back, and then criminally charged him for getting his car and money back?
"The American rule" means ppl don't get their legal fees back, "The English rule"means that your fees are paid in case of frivolous actions or malicious prosecution. Under "The English rule" you can fight if you are right.
So they charged him for receiving stolen property that they gave him? Wouldn't that make them guilty of Distributing stolen property? And who stole it? Seems to me they stole it.

Yah got no money, yah got no car, yah got no lady, and there you are!
Really a waste of State county $$$$$ going after this guy for nothing. Going to cost City, county big bucks+++
6:00 they really have nothing to do, do they?
Unlawfully seizing people's property just to be sued out of boredom....
Sounds like Wayne County prosecutors were auditioning for a job in New York city.
thanks to Steve. I've sent 0ver $100 to the Institute for Justice thanks to Steve...But I do not support moneys going to religious schools with tax dollars !
So let me get this right. They stole his car and money from him. Then when he sued them, they gave him the car and money back, and then criminally charged him for getting his car and money back?
"The American rule" means ppl don't get their legal fees back, "The English rule"means that your fees are paid in case of frivolous actions or malicious prosecution.
Under "The English rule" you can fight if you are right.
So they charged him for receiving stolen property that they gave him? Wouldn't that make them guilty of Distributing stolen property? And who stole it? Seems to me they stole it.
A new facet to fascism
wouldn't pressing charges with out evidence be a crime?
