If a "gangsta" has gold and jewels in his "grill" should the government be allowed to confiscate it?

It might be more humane for the government to take it.  At least they would have a dentist remove it using Novocaine, whereas if he winds up in the slam, a fellow resident may determine that he needs it more and decides to do the extractions with a pliers.  Ouch!!!!

While some look at it as a conflict, others believe it to be free speech.  I personally believe in the later.  The "libertarian" view is the best to me.  No laws, no limits, but mandated reporting.  Lets just see where the money comes from.  The best law I think they could impose is mandatory 24 hour reporting.  Meaning within 24 hours of money hitting a campaign account it has to be listed on a web site - sourced completely.  At least this way we see who is trying to buy who.

maybe the government does not want to give any thing back to the people and they keep it for themself

yes, if it is 100% yours, and he/she who is on it has no share in it. you have every right to, either call the cops or get a restraining order, and they would not be allowed within 100 yeards of the property

An unfortunate fact of the " Zero Tolerance" policy that allowed seizure of property obtained by illegal means, is that MUCH of the property winds up MISSING!!\n\nWhether it is the POLICE who are 'spiriting it away', or simply terrible bureaucratic recordkeeping is unclear, but the fact still remains that the missing property does not end up fattening the public coffers through public auction as it should.

Trailer trash with money is allowed, by law. They ought to change the law.

Like nothing! They will take it away and probably give you a fine. Don't worry about, everyone has it. Smoke up!

Hello first seldom do the police actually do the raid,  the swet shop would be in violation of wage and law violations, often tax violations and possible immigration,\n\nImmigration may do the raid if it is for illegal immigration,  the IRS may do the raid,  and at times state police may.\n\nIf immigation is involved yes illegals go to jail,  if immigration is not invovled normally the illegals are merley questioned and released.

No.. You shouldn't get prosecuted for selling medals that are your property unless you steal and sell them or defraud someone out of them. They are only "items" or "property" owned by the person who holds them. No crime. You can't stop someone from selling property, unless your communist.

Unfortunately in the eyes of the law its murder....but it should be justifiable,Just as Bush justifies every law hes broken, every lie hes told to turn it around and say its it our countries best interest... I should also add its justifed when your property or life depends on it.  That goes for many other circumstances well apart from the borders of this country.

It's illegal, period.  You use it, sell it, have it in your possession, etc, and get caught, you are going to prison.

Depends on the severity of the crime.  If they are locked up for a white collar crime, I would say yes.  If it was a violent crime, I would say no.  Anything else is a maybe.

they should practically handover their entire GDP of a decade, the rest will be forgiven. japan was compensated and germany is still paying for their 2nd world war attrocities....queen elizabeth still wears stolen african gold she inherited!! american indians should be allowed to hold a referendum on whether to allow the uninvited to go or stay........so on

None really. In theory there is some gold in Fort Knox and every time money is printed it's secured by the gold. In truth, the treasury can do whatever they want. They have a theoretical endless amount of money. Of course, if they print/use too much money - they'll cause inflation that that in turn will lower the purchasing power of that money so the government should be cautious about that.
