This guy is a model cop.

What does he think about double negatives?

Edit: you guys have no sense of humor.

>!They bring the show into the "real world"!<

I contacted James Arciero about it almost a year ago. This was his office's response:

>Civil asset forfeiture seems to be an issue whose time has come and gone. We do not see any momentum for its increased use as a tool of law enforcement.

Unfortunately he had no primary challenger last election. Plus I took it to mean that he doesn't really have the pull in the statehouse to get anything done about it.

This sounds factually correct, but awful. The worst kind of correct.

>To seize money or property under civil forfeiture rules, the state needs to show there's "probable cause" that it's connected to the criminal activity, Fick explained. If someone wants the seized assets back, he said, it's their responsibility to bring an action to prove it wasn't connected to an offense.

Just a reminder that civil asset forfeiture is highway robbery.

>The state's Supreme Judicial Court ruled in 2018 that civil forfeitures in the Farak and Dookhan cases do not need to be returned.

I don't understand how they can vacate all of those convictions, but keep the money they stole from them.

Be suspicious of adjectivenoun### usernames with low karma. I feel like I've seen a handful of posts by accounts like these that barely make sense and can't/won't give clear answers.

Why did they show up in the first place? What does your dog being sick have to do with it?

He is great in it. It was the first time I saw him in a movie and everything since has only solidified him as a great actor (except maybe The Eternals, but that's not his fault).

They gotta wait and see how much new millionaires' tax money comes in this year.

If them being useful to society was the goal, we'd be trying to rehabilitate them, not harvest their organs.

You can't change the rules just because you don't like how I'm doing it.

Ha! You have my vote.

What the heck is "sea-lioning"?

Nvm. It's like the brother of the gish gallop. Instead of giving an overwhelming number of arguments, they overwhelm you with requests for debate and "evidence".

Great work!

Make it so

That's just the drugs talking.

Slightly misleading title there, GBH.

Some state senator who has no experience with the drug gets to arbitrarily decide how much is worth going to jail over:

>“This is different from legalization,’’ Jehlen said. “This is allowing personal use up to two grams. I think that’s probably enough for most people to use all the mushrooms they want to in their life.”

Is it though?

>fiscally conservative politicians

>Stores and retail interests

I can't tell these two apart.

>The Massachusetts Blue Law controls which businesses can operate on Sundays and on some legal holidays. For some retailers in the state, they are required to pay employees a premium rate on Sundays if the business employs more than seven workers.

>However, since 2018 this rate has been slowly declining and by January 1, 2023, that premium payments will be eliminated.

I didn't know about this one. I get that state shouldn't legally treat Sunday as different than any other day, but it sucks that people are losing that extra pay.
