All too common for the Philadelphia Police.

A bunch of thieving mass murdering thugs. Among some of the worst in the nation.

‘"It's like this unregulated little band of rogue cops, is what it sounds like," Walczak said.’

So is Mr. Walczak saying that the Philadelphia police department has regulated bands of rogue cops?  I guess those would be the ones who don’t get caught stealing, because they’re regulated and all.

Regulated rogue cops use the forfeiture laws to steal.  Unfortunately for them, by observing certain ‘legal’ procedures, they reduce their personal share of the total haul because everyone else wants their cut.

There are ominous overtones to this latest police scandal in the city of Philadelphia.  Could it be that the forfeiture laws are a gateway crime leading to armed robbery?  It certainly seems that way.

In my experience, cops are, at best, liars and bullies; at worst, murderers and thieves. Drug cops, in particular, give new meaning to the term "career criminal".

The cops who raided my house (in 2003; this is nothing new) took, among other things, my address book, my drivers' license, empty tins, my mail, a book about prescription drugs, a surveillance camera (brand-new, still in the box), cigarette lighters and fuel, a paper on which I was keeping track of payments I was making on a truck (a "pay-owe slip") and $56. I eventually got the money back, but the rest was destroyed as "paraphernalia."

Under Arizona law, anything that wasn't illegal for me to own should have been returned to me. But, hey, soldiers don't need no stinkin' law, do they?
