Robin Hood My Ass
Yet another atrocity that slipped by us because we were too busy living the good life. What I don't understand is why people get their underwear up in a bundle over an 8 cent per hour difference in pay between the sexes, but this legalized thievery goes on without so much as a whimper:
"In other words, Hain advocates stealing from citizens (the “rich”) to benefit police departments (the “poor”). And many precincts are taking Hain’s advice, hiring companies such as Desert Snow and Black Asphalt to train their officers in taking money from citizens—and these training programs work, increasing, sometimes even tripling, the amount taken by departments that use them.
This is 'policing for profit,' wherein law enforcement officers are pressured to focus on seizing money rather than on protecting rights."
