Is it illegal to mail cash or something? Or are they just blatantly stealing from people?
It's not illegal. It's also not illegal for the police to claim it's criminal profits and seize it. The courts decided your money, (and other property), does not enjoy the same rights you do. So you have a right against search and seizure but your money and other property does not. This does three things. It opens your stuff up to be seized without a warrant, it makes it a civil case to get your stuff back, and you have to prove you're not a criminal and your stuff wasn't used by criminals.
It is absolutely unconstitutional on the grounds that it's a naked evasion of our 4th, 5th, and 6th amendment rights. But good luck explaining that to the guys with the guns.
This is why everyone should have guns. Steal my rent then, assholes!
I know that feels good but you will not survive it. Don't shoot at the police.
Yeah it only works if everyone shoots at the police.
At which point we'll have disarmed them via political means anyways.
Neither will they. What's the point of surviving with them around?
You might get a couple but there's thousands of them.
More people like me need balls. Especially me. More importantly, I need to be armed and can't just go buy at a store because of them.
By the time you have enough buy in to seriously threaten the cops in an area, you also have enough buy in to just elect politicians that will disarm them.
I don't think you understand just how outnumbered they are and how disadvantaged they are standing out so much.
No I know that. But you have to get X amount of people to be willing to do something. It so happens that amount is almost always enough to also enforce reforms and oversight on the police. Making violence unnecessary and counter productive.
Tbh, I think it takes far fewer to kill them all. That said, we gotta have some kind of public safety system to replace them anyhow, so we may as well just whip them into shape.
Nah, if you don't have that level of buy in then all you've done is start a war and divided everyone. You're forgetting that they get to recruit new people too. You need enough buy in that they couldn't replace their losses. Which is generally going to be a super majority.
No it's not illegal. Yes they are blatantly stealing. Fuck cops. Fuck Republicans voting laws to allow this shit.
It is against FedEx policy. These are terms you would agree to if signing for a shipment.
