Re: How to Find an Attorney to Protect with No Money
Quoting Taxing Matters
You will find that since pot is an illegal substance in most states that the seizure of an illegal good does not require compensation by the government. You couldn't legally have it in the first place, so the government exercises its police power to take it, not its right of eminent domain. As a result, the government doesn't have to compensate you for taking it. As stated by a federal appeals court:
When property has been seized pursuant to the criminal laws or subjected to in rem forfeiture proceedings, such deprivations are not “takings” for which the owner is entitled to compensation.
Acadia Tech., Inc. v. United States, 458 F.3d 1327, 1331 (Fed. Cir. 2006). So, no, you don't know takings law as well as you think you do.
doesn't apply. i had a valid pot recommendation.
and, that federal argument won't work with me. the general government has no delegated social Power over the whole and entire concept of Prohibition since the repeal of that Bad Idea, last millennium.
