Not shocking. I've seen how some D.A.s, like Smotherman in Pott. County operate. Shady only begins to describe it...

How about just a plain old "Ass Forfeiture"? I think that about 85% to 95% of all the politicians & judges(both sides of the aisle at the local, state and federal level) should have to forfeit/surrender their "asses"---that is they should have all their assets and cash seized and have to leave their seats/jobs. This should be done reguardless of whether or not said politicians have been caught doing graft, corruption, funneling monies to off shore accounts, voting fraud/fixing elections, taking bribes, insider trading, favoritism for fun/profit, etc., etc., etc. All the monies generated by the seizure of these politician's assets/cash would then be divided up proportionally among all the states and be issued back to tax payers as well deserved/earned income tax refunds? :thumb::yelclap::rollingla:rotflmao: Makes about as much sense as the unregulated "Asset Forfeiture" of all the common folk, ya think?

Oklahoma lawmaker withdraws asset forfeiture study request
Aug 28, 2015

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - A state lawmaker says he's withdrawing his request for an interim study on civil asset forfeiture laws in Oklahoma and instead plans a panel discussion on the issue.

Republican Sen. Kyle Loveless of Oklahoma City said Friday the study was scheduled to convene on Tuesday at the Tulsa Police Academy - a location that had drawn criticism from the public, committee members and the media. Instead, Loveless says he will host a panel discussion Tuesday at the State Capitol.

Loveless wants to study possible changes in Oklahoma laws that allow police to seize money or property believed to have come from criminal activity. It has attracted fierce opposition from district attorneys and other law enforcement agencies that use the forfeited property to help fund their operations.
