I don't see anything unusual about that. They may have been shooting hoops while she was visiting with him. How can you judge that just because they are in a specific area? It was legal money he earned and he proved it with video surveillance of him cashing his paycheck, and the check stubs and other documents. The cop didn't report the money, he didn't turn it into the police department, it simply vanished.

Civil asset forfeiture laws allow this. The money was most likely used during the conduction of the crime, therefore the cop is allowed to seize it.

Police have been told to take all money everywhere:

How cops take millions from motorists not charged with crimes



Thanks to civil forfeiture laws, police and prosecutors don’t need to charge someone with a crime to seize and keep their property.


Since 9/11, without warrants and despite a lack of criminal charges, law enforcement nationwide has taken in $2.5 billion from 61,998 cash seizures under equitable sharing. This federal civil forfeiture program lets local and state law enforcement literally make a federal case out of a seizure, if they collaborate with a federal agency. Not only can they then bypass state forfeiture laws, they can pocket up to 80 percent of the proceeds. So of that $2.5 billion seized through equitable sharing, local and state authorities kept $1.7 billion for their own uses.

Remember everybody, it's just a few bad apples. It just so happens that we're catching all the bad ones on tape now. I'm sure there aren't a huge number more of these bad apples that we just haven't caught yet...

1.1 million employees of law enforcement agencies in the U.S.

One pissed you off today.

 

[waggy]

I don't give a shit why he had the money. he was not accused (or proven) to be a drug dealer. not that it matters since it was not put into evidence.

fire the cop and charge him.

but he will get a 2 week paid vacation.

Jesus titty-fucking Christ, read the article.

Also "conduction" does not mean what you think it does.

How many weren't caught on camera today? How many haven't been caught on camera yet? How many stood by and laughed while their fellow officers committed crimes?

Until they clean themselves up, all cops are dirty.

 

[Kadarin]

These officers will be found to have been "following proper established procedures"...

Well, mizzou said that if cops clean themselves up, they are tattle tales. We can't have that. Dirty cops > tattle tale cops.

Did you even read the article?

Except Marinelli represents the siblings who were pepper-sprayed — Lamard Joye, who claims the cop took $1,300 from his pocket, money that has still not been accounted for, and his sister Lateefah Joye, a professional basketball player in Europe, who tried to get the cop’s badge number.

seize by the government and logged as evidence, not seized by a corrupt cop to stick in his own pockets and never report it.

thats theft dude.

And people wonder why Cops get away with this bullshit.

Yeap, the crime of being black in 'Murrica. I heard the Police are hunting for Lebron James.

Except the cop didn't report it, it just 'vanished', and the 'perp' has documents showing he withdrew the money from his bank account, shortly after cashing a paycheck he earned.

The cop robbed the guy. Plain and simple.

Great work, professor. It is always illegal to cash your paycheck from your job that you work at.

Yep. Crook with a badge.

 

[JEDIYoda]

Misleading title, motion to ban.

grow up and read the damn thread...there is no fail...only you failing to comprehend!!

 

[TheSlamma]

This isn't civil forfeiture, no papers filed at all.

But it is state by state and many people need to petition to get their states to change their laws.

Some states have done some reform where it's not guilty until proven innocent and some states the cops only keep 50% or even zero which is how it should be so there is absolutely no incentive.

 

[Bitek]

I know dateline did something on this type of issue. Some counties can do what ever they want with the money.

John Oliver just did a piece. Hilarious and outrageous.

I'm not commenting on the incident. Incident defined as cop confiscating money from someone who hasn't committed a crime.


I'm implying that the guy is either a dumbass or a scumbag. I'm implying that the story provided by his sister and his lawyer is bullshit.

His sister defending him?....tells me nothing.

A week later, Lamard Joye, 35, and his lawyer, Robert Marinelli, went to the Brooklyn District Attorney&#8217;s Office and claimed the cop had taken $1,300.
...


Marinelli gave them a cancelled check and withdrawal slips as proof &#8212; but admitted to The Post that those documents are from between five to seven days prior to the scuffle.
&#8220;Just because somebody cashes a check and has a bank record that doesn&#8217;t mean they still have the cash on them a week later,&#8221; a law-enforcement source said.

Joye was frisked against a fence, and Montemarino removed his cellphone and $62 in cash, the statement said. Joye &#8212; who has an open warrant for driving without a license &#8212; and his sister were then pepper-sprayed by Montemarino.
He ran off before cops could arrest him.
&#8220;The officer returned to the precinct and vouchered the suspect&#8217;s cellphone and $62. The suspect never returned to the precinct to obtain his property,&#8221; said the NYPD.

There is no doubt majority of cops are good cops. I see them every day. Doesn't excuse the bad ones, though. If anything they should be held to a higher standard, should they not?

my god stop and frisk is bull.
