JanneW Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Nice find! Now, wouldn't it be great if a sign like this came attached to every police car, police gun, administrative building, judge's robe? I'd even be prepared to overlook the finer semantics of "confiscated" vs "stolen".
J. D. Stembal Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Anyone that's been to a police auction knows that one of their main forms of revenue is selling properties, vehicles, weapons and various possessions seized from criminals. Police shake down citizens and steal from them all the time. It's not just taxation that funds them. http://www.wmtw.com/Charity-Poker-Game-Raided-By-Police/5699198 When you see that label about confiscated funds, it is more of a warning to criminals than an admission of malfeasance. It's as if the police are bragging, "We paid for this by fighting crime honorably. You're next, bad guy!" As a footnote, here's the list of vehicles selling at this month's police auto auction, 119 vehicles in all: http://www.denvergov.org/Portals/574/documents/acvlist021115.pdf
