FBI Vault Raid Seizes $86 Million in Private Property
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fk87-BW3ByM

Patrons of a safety deposit box vault in California are taking on the FBI, who they say confiscated their valuables and heirlooms during a raid reportedly looking for drug cartel money. The customers thought their possessions were 100% secure at the U.S. Private Vaults in Beverly Hills. But the facility was raided by the FBI, which was looking for drug cartel money. The government opened every safety deposit box, seizing $86 million in property from alleged criminals and regular folks alike.

I don't know why they'd think that. It's been long established that Government can and will seize property held in a "safe" deposit box. Just because it wasn't a bank changes little.

"Innocent until proven guilty"

Judge blocks FBI from keeping cash, gold and silver seized in Beverly Hills raid
https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2021-06-23/fbi-beverly-hills-raid-court-blocks-confiscation

Citing the 5th Amendment’s protection against deprivation of property without due process, Klausner faulted the government for failing to specify in its forfeiture notice the reasons for taking the cash and valuables of four box holders who filed one of a dozen lawsuits after the March raid on U.S. Private Vaults.

“This notice, put bluntly, provides no factual basis for the seizure of Plaintiffs’ property whatsoever,” Klausner wrote.

The warrants, approved by U.S. Magistrate Judge Steve Kim, gave the FBI permission to seize the company’s business equipment, including the safe deposit boxes themselves. But Kim explicitly barred the FBI from conducting a criminal search of the boxes’ contents.

“Now they’re going to have to try to prove a real case for forfeiture,” he said, “and we don’t think they can.”

DEA, TSA seize cash from air travelers not suspected of crimes, lawsuit says
https://www.cbs17.com/news/national-news/dea-tsa-seize-cash-from-air-travelers-not-suspected-of-crimes-lawsuit-says/

Federal authorites are violating the Constitution by seizing money from domestic air travelers “without any indication of criminal activity,” according to the 112-page lawsuit, filed by the non-profit civil liberties law firm the Institute for Justice.

“It’s not illegal to have cash on you,” said WJZY investigative reporter Matt Grant. “So, how can these agencies just take your money?”

“You’re absolutely right, it’s absolutely legal to travel with any amount of money domestically,” said Dan Alban, a senior attorney with Institute for Justice. “But, unfortunately, both TSA and DEA have policies that treat what they consider to be large amounts of money as presumptively suspicious and indicative of criminal activity.”

“If you travel through an airport with more than $5,000 or $10,000, and it’s detected when you go through TSA security screening, they will stop you,” said Alban. “They will detain you. They will interrogate you. And, more likely than not, they will seize your cash and try to permanently forfeit it using civil forfeiture.”
“In almost none of these cases does anyone get charged criminally,” Alban added.

Government seizes billions in cash from air travelers without ever filing a criminal charge
https://www.fox46.com/news/investigations/government-seizes-billions-in-cash-from-air-travelers-without-ever-filing-a-criminal-charge/

SEIZURES TOP $2 BILLION

Records obtained from the Department of Homeland Security’s Freedom of Information Act library show 30,670 cash seizures happened inside the nation’s airports between 2000 and 2016. The data was made public after the Institute for Justice, a nonprofit law firm based in Washington DC, sued the government for the records in 2016.

DHS has not yet provided FOX 46 with seizures records for 2017 through 2021. Those records were requested through a FOIA request submitted to DHS on July 29.

New Report Finds Civil Forfeiture Rakes in Billions Each Year, Does Not Fight Crime
https://ij.org/press-release/new-report-finds-civil-forfeiture-rakes-in-billions-each-year-does-not-fight-crime-2/

Poor Forfeiture Laws Allowed State and Federal Governments to Forfeit More Than $68.8 Billion Over Past 20 Years

Nationwide, civil forfeiture laws put innocent property owners at risk and encourage law enforcement to police for profit, with billions of dollars forfeited each year.

This third edition of “Policing for Profit” presents the largest ever collection of state and federal forfeiture data—17 million data points covering 45 states, the District of Columbia and the federal government. These data show forfeiture is a massive nationwide problem. Since 2000, states and the federal government have forfeited at least $68.8 billion - that we know of. Not all states provided full data, so this figure drastically undercounts property taken from people through forfeiture.
“Most laws still stack the deck against property owners and give law enforcement perverse financial incentives to pursue property over justice.”

Indeed, new data published for the first time in “Policing for Profit” indicate forfeiture rarely targets big-time criminals. Data from 21 states show half of all currency forfeitures are worth less than $1,300, hardly the stuff of vast criminal enterprises and far less than it would cost to hire an attorney to fight back. Moreover, “Policing for Profit” finds forfeiture proceeds mostly support law enforcement budgets, not crime victims or community programs. In 2018, agencies in 13 states with expenditure data spent almost no proceeds on victims and just 9% on community programs on average.

“Despite its national prevalence and popularity with police and prosecutors, civil forfeiture simply doesn’t work,” said IJ Senior Research Analyst and report co-author Jennifer McDonald. “It doesn’t fight crime, it doesn’t target criminal kingpins, and it doesn’t support crime victims or community programs.”

Governments are in the later stage of looting the nation.

And because they fiscally mismanaged their finances for decades, destroying the pension funds, now they are murdering (senior) citizens with the Covid injections (against all logic).

What would it take for people to actually "see" what's happening?

What's left? An oppressive digital grid that you can't do without for the most basic needs?

Either people stop procrastinating, take things seriously, and resist the government plans, or there's no future: no pension, no social security, no property, no travel, empty shelves, etc.

If you think using cash is inconvenient, wait till is gone. But ignorance is bliss.

You don't need to ask what to do all the time (more procrastination), you have a brain, use it.

The government "solutions" to the "problems" they create are always worse than the original problem (rinse & repeat).

Our government is insane. They go after innocent people whom they don't like and the community jumps in on it with their Stasi-free mason vigilante bull****. They think they're so badass
