Last January, the San Diego DA took $100,000 from the Slatic family's savings account based on the accusation of one officer that James Slatic, who runs a medical marijuana business called Med West Distribution, had engaged in unlawful chemical extraction of THC. Since January of last year, neither James Slatic nor anyone associated with his business has been charged with unlawful extraction or any other crime, and San Diego police have failed to conduct any additional investigations into the accusations or make formal criminal allegations against the Slatic family. The San Diego DA dropped the forfeiture case against the family's savings, but in a recent court filing, the DA alleged that the Slatic family's savings was evidence of money laundering, an allegation he pulled right out of his ass. In the same incident, the DA failed to make criminal allegations against James Slatic for supposedly engaging in money laundering, much less charge him with money laundering. He would have been able to at least do the former if the $100,000 itself was actually evidence of money laundering. In most first world countries you are not punished unless you are charged and convicted of a crime, but here in the land of the free, you can be deprived of your property if any government thug arbitrarily says you have committed a crime, without having to back up his claim that you actually did commit a crime with you know evidence and a procedure for examining that evidence.
