The police: They're not on your side, they're on their side - DUI Roadblock edition

Profit driven policing is a scary concept.

CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE CONSIDERS LIMITING DUI ROADBLOCKS: “Confiscating automobiles has become a significant source of revenue for cash-strapped California cities. Last Tuesday, the state legislature gave preliminary approval to legislation to impose limits on the practice.” I don’t think law enforcement should turn a profit. When it does, it shades too easily into piracy.


Yo, ho, ho and a bottle of Rum indeed.
