24. When you consider that police have dropped drugs into peoples cars, this power is even local

A drug bust can take your house, your credit, everything. Right now, a dishonest DA can take your computer, "Find" the wrong thing on it and your life is eternally over. (Some of this is not as bad as it was a few years back but it is still pretty scary.)

If you do ever prove you are innocent, you still may have lost years of life. You may end up being able to sue, but the officers and officials who cheated you out of your lost life will never lose a thing.

Don Siegelman is a good example of what can happen to you and evidence that fascism is hardly new to the Republican party.

When folk on the Democratic side pursue justice it is common for the Republican fascists to threaten revenge. From all evidence, they should be ignored, if they are threatening something, they are already planning to do it.

There are a lot of times a judge can make a ruling and temporarily freeze your assets and there are judgments where it is permanent. If you flee, rob folk, lie in a divorce, etc... You can lose your rights to your money quickly. If you carry too much money it can be taken and you have to prove your right to own it and you might not ever see it anyway. If you are rich, you can manage money with banks in other countries. Bitcoin I suspect would be long gone if it were not such a good way to preserve assets from government seizure.

The lesson here is that we need honest government. We cannot afford mean government. We cannot afford big money controlling government. Right now we just have to keep our heads down to avoid the hammer. That is no way to live, but to be honest, I am white so while I might think things are bad now, anyone with broader experience and darker skin would tell me, and be correct to tell me, it's always been that way.
