These guys just keep goose-stepping overstepping their authority: "Federal Appeals Court Slams FBI’s Actions In Security Deposit Box Raid".
This morning, a 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel unanimously ruled against the government in a long-running class action lawsuit from the Institute for Justice (IJ) on behalf of people who rented security deposit boxes at US Private Vaults. The decision slammed the FBI for overstepping its authority when it opened up hundreds of renters’ boxes, conducted criminal searches of them all, and attempted to permanently keep everything in the boxes worth more than $5,000, all without charging any box renter with a crime.
Sounds reasonable enough, doesn't it? After all, how can you know the people with those boxes weren't committing crimes unless you checked all of them? What is your problem, Citizen? If you have nothing to hide then you have nothing to fear!
ReplyDeleteAnother reason they want to disarm us, incidentally.

ReplyDeleteIn other words, government sanctioned theft.
