Did you know police can just take your stuff if they suspect it's involved in a crime? They can! It’s a shady process called “civil asset forfeiture,” and it would make for a weird episode of Law and Order. See? Connect with Last Week Tonight online...

  1. Fuck the D.E.A
  2. Civil Forfeiture: Your stuff is guilty until proven innocent. Citizens United: Corporations are people that have rights equal to that of an individual. They make up the laws as they go along to suit their own purposes, yet people will lecture you about law and order and upholding the legal system. It's all been corrupted.
  3. fuck the police all around the world.
  4. Cops are in fact ASSHoles.
  5. shark fins are so bad... it's so sad for the sharks. It's because police are respected and payed so so little, also I think. Tell me if I am wrong.

  8. not to be insensitive, but I would start a civil war if I was a citizen of the USA. first Trump with his pathetic small hands an then the people in power gets to say, joink your things is now my things. its a fu(ked up country.
  9. I think the cop actually said "¿Tiene mucho mucho dinero en su truck y trailer?", which, aside from the incorrect conjugation, repetition of "mucho" and mixing of English, sounds like it could actually be Spanish. I have extremely limited knowledge of the language, though.

  11. I don't usually agree with John Oliver but I respect him a lot for using his platform to bring awareness to this.
