Watch California Cops Steal Every Penny from an Innocent Family

Can the government take all of a family’s money based on suspicion that one family member committed a crime? That is exactly what happened to the Slatic family earlier this year, when the San Diego County District Attorney seized over $100,000 in personal bank accounts belonging to James Slatic, his wife Annette, and their two teenage daughters, Lily and Penny, without charging anyone with a crime.
LEARN MORE: ij.org/case/san-diego-civil-fo...
Using civil forfeiture, the District Attorney seized nearly every penny from the Slatic family following a January 2016 raid on Med-West Distribution-the legal medical marijuana business owned by James. Police accused Med-West of operating a “clandestine” drug lab, even though the business complied with state medical marijuana laws, operated publically for two years, and paid its taxes. The police took everything from Med-West, including $324,000, and shut the business down. Then, a few days later, the District Attorney went after James’ family, seizing nearly every penny in their personal bank accounts.
The seizure of the Slatic family’s money has nothing to do with crime fighting; it has everything to do with policing for profit. In the nine months since the raid, the District Attorney has not brought criminal charges against the Slatics or anyone associated with Med-West. The District Attorney has instead left the Slatics’ money in legal limbo, refusing even to begin legal proceedings in which the Slatics could prove their innocence.
Now the Slatics have teamed up with the Institute for Justice to demand their money back. The District Attorney’s abuse of civil forfeiture takes the American principle of innocent until proven guilty and flips it on its head, treating innocent property owners like the Slatics worse than criminals. A victory in this case will not only mean the return of the Slatics’ money, it will uphold the principle that no American should lose his or her property without being convicted of a crime.

NEW: Why Won’t the Supreme Court Hold Police Accountable? th-cam.com/video/RWRUDURusyQ/w-d-xo.html
It's 2020 and we still ask the same question ! Answer CORRUPTION !
Part off same gang they share thé money they Rob
They probably don't want to be harassed by the police, or are complicit
The GOP SCOTUS wants it that way. Like Nazi Germany.
I’ve had a 7,000$ car and 5900$ cash seized from me on two separate occasions and each time I was never charged with a crime or arrested.
Glad they got their money back. However, the two judges that denied three separate motions asking the government to return the money and the DA that stole the money should all be in jail.
Not really. They violated federal law. They were distributing controlled substances. Nothing about a weed business is legal.
@@celularphone there is a thing called the US c0nstitution which is the law that the government must obey. Innocent until proven guilty is a fundamental part of the of the system which keeps us all safe from corrupt people in the government. When the government breaks the law meant for them, the c0nstitution, then none of us are safe. Governments which steal money from innocent people, (people who never were convicted of a crime are innocent in case you didn't know), are governments which are a danger to everyone.
Government officials who break the law should be in prison for a long time. Letting them walk free only encourages the government to break more laws. They are setting a precedent which could lead to mass civil disobedience and possibly revolution. If everyone was aware that about 3 innocent people are robbed on the highways every day by cops, then they would be burning down courthouses and lynching cops. Cops steal more from the American public each year than all the burglars combined. Their departments are now reliant on stolen money to meet their budgets.
It's gotten so bad that the Canadian government issued a warning to its citizens visiting the US to not carry large sums of cash or the cops might steal it. Very few of the victims of these government paid criminals, are ever charged with a crime, yet they have to sue the government to get their money back, (it costs about $8000 to do that). They have to prove their innocence to get their money back.
We can't allow the government to become a tyrannical third world banana state. The c0nstitution is the law which governs the government and if we allow them to continue to break that law, we are all in grave danger.
@@braeburn2333 Well said Karl
@@braeburn2333 I agree civil asset forfeiture is bad but in their complaint they admit this was due to a drug enterprise. Hes not going to win this one unless they overturn civil asset forfeiture
@@celularphone Then why were they never charged with a single crime????
You seem very angry that people use cannabis. Perhaps you need medical marijuana to calm you down?
"We raided a medical marijuana store, and found a lot of marijuana and cash.
Next week, we plan to raid a gun store and expect to find firearms and cash"
Cops are so dumb they probably would raid the wrong place. Oh, wait, happens all the time...
They wont be raiding a gun store in communist cali.
@@geezusfreek1 That is exactly where they would raid a gun store. You think they'd have to do this in a strong 2A state? Criminals target people who are defenceless. If the criminal holds a badge, that does not change.

Civil asset forfeiture is the single worst thing that ever happened to American law enforcement.
There should never, NEVER, be a profit motive in law enforcement! I was in that line of work for 8 years, and during this time the asset forfeiture laws came into effect.
Immediately officers started looking for things we could target, and it was at this point that I understood that there was incredible opportunity for abuse of this system.
You sound like a standup guy to even notice that it was wrong. If we ever needed police it would be a guy like you. When was this first put into motion?
Everything cops do has a motivating factor ,its all about money from traffic citations to drunk drivers to hard crime ,they make money every step of the way
What's also scary is we think our money is safe in the bank. We are all vulnerable.
My Bitcoin is 100% safe from any seizure.
@@husaberg650 haha
paper money is garbage... Honestly bitcoin can crash... Gold and silver is prob the best.
By teaming up with the Institute for Justice, the Slatics were able to fight back and win. In May 2017, a San Diego judge ordered the district attorney to return all of the family’s money with interest. Thank you for helping this family!
although that is excellent the people responsible for this atrocity should be put in jail themselves or at the very least lose their jobs.
It's a dam.shame when police abuse thier power.like that! All of them need.to be suspended or fired
@@skyelighting6829 The Police didn't do this without approval of the district Attorney , and a judge. They are the problem, and are as dirty as can be.
WELL I HOPE THE DISTRICT ATTORNY WAS PROSCUTED FOR GRAND THEFT! YOU AND I WOULD OF BEEN!
@@SockPuppet69 Hey stupid grammar police. I didn't write it. I just copied it from their website and put it on here so everyone would know what happened. So chill!
And everyone called the old timers who buried their cash in the back yard "paranoid"...
Good one
Friends pop died with 16k in his wheelchair. lol Hated the banks and govt.
Yeah, NEVER listen to anybody who calls you paranoid because of any precaution you choose to take in ANY area of your life. Better to err on the side of caution. Better yet, one should never discuss such matters with anybody, period. People just can't be trusted anymore, and it's not because everybody is malicious or anything like that, although many people are, but because the person you trust may not have the good judgement or foresight to keep what you share with them to themselves. It's not necessarily that you can't trust a friend's morality, for example, rather, you can't rust their judgement.
aa ha ha ha hahahahh aha ahaha
if you're running a business like this guy was, they will check to see if your books are cooked. they will know if you stashed a pile of cash somewhere, they just won't know where. The agency running this OP was looking for a cash grab and sadly this guy was an easy seizure of assets.
All involved, including the judges, are clearly guilty of at least terrorism if not treason.
Greg, how do their actions fit the definition of terrorism or treason? My understanding is that terrorism must target a person for political reasons.
@@ritcheymt
To me it is a war between the haves and have nots. Judges and the like clearly abused their power to their own ends im this case, betraying the common man. To me, not acting in the best interests of the average every day citizen and acting in such a corrupt fashion should be considered both treason and terrorism especially when Badges arrogantly and cowardly demand to be armed in our presence yet will not allow us to have equal methods of defense.
@@GregBurch neither of the reasons you gave add up to terrorism or treason lol. Turn yourself in to a local psychiatric ward to be checked out. Weed is still illegal on a federal level. This was a federal raid....

civil forfeiture is unconstitutional, i want to see this in front of the supreme court
SCOTUS has been failing us for years. They continually ignore infringement on our rights.
SCOTUS is even more corrupt than the lower courts!
Qualified Immunity, Civil Forfeiture, and Police Union. remove these 3 and police will behave like a service dog.
SCOTUS has been on vacation for a decade or so.
The Supreme Court is 95% compromised!! And they won't even give a comment!! Since when does the Supreme Court have the right to "no comment" they work for We The People....
Keep voting for the same politicians and you'll keep getting the same results!
Votes don't count. They steal the election anyway.
Majority of politician are appointed not voted
Bankers rule the world
@@user-cf6te2ug2g what do you mean "steal the election?" Are you referring to voter suppression?
Vote for different politicians and nothing changes
Taking peoples property without due process and never being charged is unconstitutional.
This is what to expect in America now.
The judge and DA that issue this robbery must be put in prison
Govt these days are operating like the CARTEL!!! CORRUPT .... even in CANADA!!
Arlene Vandenberg they must be held accountable for for their criminal actions
they have absolute immunity... they aren't going to Prison.

Big news out of San Diego! In May, a court ordered the District Attorney’s Office to return every last penny of the more than $100,000 it seized from the Slatic family using civil forfeiture. This important victory came after a 15-month battle before two different courts and three different judges. In the face of great odds, the Slatic family and IJ persisted. That persistence paid off when a judge agreed that the DA had no grounds to hold the money. August 2017
Not law enforcement officers guys are robbers and thieves with a badge you see the way they go in there they go in there expecting to find an army or something that's ridiculous our own civil police masquerading as armed militia against the citizens of the state and county. Pizza swine they do as order from above they just take orders they have no mind to do anything else they were told to do that we need to go out to the judge and the district attorney and whoever told them to do that but the pigs won't get that up and the person that know that did that knows they won't give them up it's all a big scam the state is broke the state is busted they're making every single way they can to get money from everybody and anyway shape form or fashion. They get away with this 8 out of 10 times it's only because of the institute for justice help them but they were able to have a fight most people don't even have a fight please knock them out lock them up and never heard of them again. With the state broke all counties are referring recommending advising and training and ordering their police departments for asset forfeiture Sergeant tells each departing officer at the beginning of each shift do not come back without property money or people that's your job bring us back money people or property riding Street in the law really interested in our own bank account meanwhile we have homelessness everywhere we have drug activity everywhere we have gangs everywhere we have filth and trash everywhere we got the police masquerading as an armed militia against their own citizens this state has gone to hell LA and California are not the country or state that I grew up in 25 years ago when they were clean and normal now it's a cesspool of third world mess.. cobit was a stunt by the government to gain more power and control and test the citizens for their gulability. Trust me they will force that shot upon anybody not wanting it willingly and the police will be so strong on tactics try to hold you down while you get the shot or they will shoot you with a bullet so they'll let you decide what you want to get shot with and then they'll say it was just suicide by cop that's why we need video cameras everywhere on our houses to protect us when they come have secret hidden DVRs have cloud storage as well as on-site storage. They already have military weapons in their vehicles M16
Along with their proxy agent the fake newspapers they will stop at nothing to take your guns from your house next guns at the founding fathers guaranteed us guns that can put food on our table and keep perpetrators out of our houses that's why this country started already with people that already know the Communist system people in Mexico can't own guns and look at Mexico people in China can only have two kids or one kid look at China I go on and on but they're all here now so I got a bunch of new dumb idiots that don't know anything and put up with it and are conditioned for it already they teach you the opposite of the real factual truth that sticks and stones may break your bones that words may never hurt you you should teach us that in school nowadays you'll get thrown out of school for saying that need to teach people to be thick skinned and that we have a freedom of speech if you don't like it you can walk away or you can or you can shout back or or holler back or debate back how have you how are you take that they are taking you they're out there yelling and you got to start yelling too that's two people's rights they can stand it all day and do that they're hurt nobody but police will be summoned and they always side with the merchant or county in government facilities and staff
I've said it before, those with power and authority should be held to drastically more severe punishment for abuse of that power. Corruption can not be tolerated.
And cops wonder why people don't trust them....... SMH.
@Scott Patnode oh man I don't disagree at all but I don't have the time for all the links man, life is dark that is for sure but god dam if if I was checking all that all the time that would be a heavy ass black pill, me I am smart enough to know the cops protect there own and build cases on BS for adda boy points for promotions, so I don't trust the police, history and the internet (just like the links you have shown) have proven it's just basic intelligence to not blindly trust authority at all, because when they are caught out doing illegal sh't they either bury it, make the evidence disappear or they settle it out of court with a gag order on the details of what was paid. Only a fool trusts a entity that is a law onto itself and essentially able to be held unaccountable for there actions.
Cops don’t wonder. They know civilians don’t trust them. It’s always been an us against them mentality with cops.
I don’t trust the thug Pigs!

@ZINDAO there is a solution to this. Bitcoin. Government can't track bitcoin and it can be transferred immediately anywhere in the world. This is why it is worth so much right now.
When will the victims be able to conduct civil asset forfeiture against the DA and police involved? That was armed robbery plain and simple. Some people need some time in a jail cell to think about what they have done.
I can't even describe how I'm feeling right now.

Why do we as a country fail to hold these people accountable?
The question is,who sent the cops in the first place?
StealthinDaBetter . . .l notice no one has answered that most provocative question in 9 months.

stealthindabetter - the copes wanted more dope to smoke and sell.
This is like a mafia. Pay or we take all ...
Not like a mafia, the government is a Mafia they are just widely accepted like Herpes.
@Ass hole Name Every entertainment channel has a cop show for a reason and it is not just for entertainment.
@Ass hole Name So the public will confuse the fiction of the shows with reality they will think cops are there to protect them when in fact the police are there to protect and fund the government at the public's expense.
No. The Mafia only takes some of your money and offers a service (protection service). The government take all of your money, your family's, parents, kids money and offer no services for it.
"Nice business you have here. I'd hate to lose it."
We neednto stand up against these types of events. So many victims of not having their money returned.
This is why the phrase “if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing worry” is meaningless, the correct response is “I do not question my integrity, I question your motive”
Those who were behind this malarkey need to have their assets seized and they need to go to prison for 20 years.
This would be a good reason to start putting your money in off shore accounts
And whole family imprisoned too. We should be grossly discouraging this type of treason. The public SERVANTS have forgotten their roles.

Brother we can nit-pick and rename/rebrand all day. The fact is, it’s wrong- and what are we doing to change it... or at least lessen interaction.
I know the whole backstory too- but that’s too deep for the sheep. I try to use easy to comprehend words, these people are wearing masks and taking poisons- so they either aren’t too bright, or they are completely misled/distracted. Do you think that the average slave citizen knows what usurped means? They don’t. I’ll answer for you. The masses don’t even know what rights vs privileges are.
It’s a long road- I try to hold the deep stuff for the people that actually show interest and can understand.
The comments like the one you responded to- I’m just hoping that it adds to the mass-spreading of the attitude for independence. I know what I should do- but I can’t speak for everyone. I just want people to think and read. Usurped and all.
Can't tell the difference now between swat cops and the cartels. They both do the same thing.
exactly
Shakedowns and hostile takeovers.
Andy, the difference is that the Cartel break the laws that they don't create. The SWAT Cops, are just used to enforce the laws that are create/manipulated by the Crooked Politicians (crooks in Power) under the guise of Lawfulness. Which one of these scenarios is more disturbing? Cartels are openly bad, but the you know that they are there and how to avoid them.
, i think they said ;;, FIVE-O
Cartel uniforms are cleaner.
It’s crazy they do this, but in downtown San Diego people are selling meth, crack, heroin, literally any drug out in the open without a care in the world. Cops see it and just keep driving.
Whoever authorized this travesty is a spineless coward.
*Civil asset forfeiture needs to die*
Most of the time there is no crime except on the police side

I agree with you on your comment, but do you realize that when going on a vacation or just traveling with cash that the cops can say it was for buying drugs? They take it immediately off your person and will take up to two yrs to get it back? And that's with hiring a lawyer which you won't get reimbursed for. It is now illegal to carry cash

I'm no attorney but I would:
Go after their individual bonds, make a claim on them. File claims on their hazard insurance. File criminal complaints with the state/federal licensing board on each and every criminal involved. Go after the their union bonds. Go after their department bonds. I would file an insurance claim on any and all insurance policies I find, on each every criminal thug.
I would also target their personal assets and file liens accordingly for my losses and damages.
If done correctly and properly I would get some kind of justice.
I would study, do research and file timely. I would seek competent counsel.
Every individual has the right to sue for undue duress and reimbursable damages. But, there are laws protecting the police from such law suits. This is why ppl need to be more involved with legislation and not bitch and moan do nothing.
@@GooglePhDNo. This is not about filing a lawsuit. There are many remedies already available to all men, when they have been wronged. You do not need to file a lawsuit in order to file a claim on a bond or an insurance policy. The same for filing criminal complaints with the state and federal authorities.
Cops, judges, governors, mayors and other in "power" can be become "unbondable".
So no, they are not immune, as most would assume.
There are lawful means of obtaining justice. The truth is most men and women do not know how or where to file. That is why I state: the pen is mightier than the sword.

Well heroin dealers and the drug cartels don’t usually have bank accounts and most people are totally fine with them having their funds taken from them. The reason we’re hearing about this is because their funds shouldn’t have been taken from them. Who cares if you’re punishing actual criminals?
Actually if u just watch a show called Border Patrol...the u.s. take A LOT of product from the cartel every single day. You people are so asleep its amusing. Did you know its a fact the cartel will send shipments of drugs to be purposely caught and seized...all so 5 more shipments can make it thru the tunnels at that exact time when all the focus is on the shipment that was ment to be found from the start. The cartel and the government work together this i assure u. There are too many blatant and outright obvious indicators. Wake up people or at least do a little tesearch before u go spewing off in the comment section. Ass

But what about all those folks out there that blatantly defraud Welfare (Sect 8, Food Stamps,,, etc,,)? They are stealing from us (you and I) with hardly no accountabilty.
How is this even possible ?????
Sounds like big brother at its finest....
They let this family flourish, watched them and then stole from them, point blank, end of story. Shame.
That's deplorable!!!!! It's sickening watching those cops role in there with weapons drawn.
Standard practice in the USA. The only good cop is a dead cop. Just as the only good government is no government.
Right like there're there to capture a high profile America's most wanted SMH
The cops have the authority and weapons to do what they want. Makes me want to kill them. That's how mad I am. But I'm not a killer so they'll live.

Nothing short of extortion.
I have learned very early in life that you can save your money in a bank account but somebody somewhere along the way will take it away, and often it is somebody you trust.
Makes you wonder which of their competitors had political pull
None probably, my bet is on the DA, might be a different person now, but the last one had a hard on for pot busts to cover up the generally poor showing of san diego's finest.
Technically marijuana is illegal in all states because of federal law. If the judge wasn't on their side they wouldn't have been able to do anything about it.
@@judahboyd2107 That doesn't expiate or justify, in any way, the police Dept for their Gestapo type tactics that were used. Criminal charges should be brought against the Cops in this case for violation of these citizens' Constitutional rights; especially the uninvolved family members. This type of activity has gotten out of hand, and needs to have a criminal prosecution brought against the offending police, in order to provide a precedent and as an example for other police agencies to serve as warning.
Probably the cartel.

They took my house because my ex husband had a secret room where he had three little clones which I knew nothing about! But that didn't keep them from taking my house that I had paid on for 30 years! OH and since they couldn't charge me they came up with a new Law it's called conspiracy! So now even if you don't know what's going on they say you do!

How could this raid happen if they were in compliance with California medical cannabis laws? This is insane the family got raided then left high and dry! That said, I myself am staying away from anything that has to do with cannabis or its products! It's just too touchy and a huge legal mess!
It’s very alarming to see what the IRS does to our citizens.

Ian Battles we lost my grand parents house that was signed over to my mother in Connecticut. It was taken in order to pay my grandfathers debt to a nursing home which makes sense but then we where told they where gonna only market it for 40,000 dollars and had to pay what ever else out of pocket. We took that to court and had to prove the house was worth more then that. In the end the judge sided with us raised the price to 150,000 more then what my grandparents had owed to the state. We did not see any of it, they even took his cars a boat and all there personnel positions inside we where only allowed to take a few things after it had been inventoried by the state.
Yeah and they booted your luxury car
He broke a federal law
@@KeyonNinja it's because you live in a liberal state like ct.
That’s messed up I hope they go to jail these crooked cops
The cops are just doing their job. They are being sent by whatever local, county or state government that sends them to do the dirty work. Dollars to donuts the Mayor and Judge are left wing dems.
The cops followed orders, it is the DA and judges who should be punished.
I sincerely hope that you and your family get everything back one day plus more
Prison for the judge and da
Civilian oversight of law enforcement is a must. Too long have these corrupt organizations been able to get away with crime. They have forgotten they are public servants

I know a guy who was going to buy a vehicle out of state and they took all his money. Destroyed his business, wrecked his and family's lives, no charges were ever filed.
Most people I talk to do not believe this is even a real thing. You can tell people and even show them, people do not believe it. That is a lot of how this is able to go on.
The funniest part about this is that a few weeks later one of the sheriffs that was part of the “take down” opened up his own distribution medical marijuana facility, stacked with product and cash flow.
Of course you didn't get charged with anything... You were robbed they were there with the the sole purpose to steal your money and anything of value.
When those trusted to uphold the Law, instead twist the law to serve their own ends, then there is NO LAW.

If you go to their link you'll see: "By teaming up with the Institute for Justice, the Slatics were able to fight back and win. In May 2017, a San Diego judge ordered the district attorney to return all of the family’s money with interest." So the good news at least is that they won.
That interest rate had better been like 200% APR or something, these guys have to be held accountable for their actions.
Zenhotta make it 400%
Zenhotta
But wouldn't that be punishing the local taxpayers, yes it would probably come from some sort of insurance policy but that said policy would be paid for by local taxes.
The only way this will ever stop is by making those responsible for such crimes and any other crimes against the people is by making individuals responsible and not departments.
Where did the idea come from for the raid, first one guilty.
Who agreed to the raid Second one guilty.
Who authorised the raid Third one guilty.
And so on, when these people realise they are not above the law we will start seeing changes.

Perfect example of why you do not use banks or any electric form of payments.
This brings back memories of my resistance to getting a bank account and being forced to obtain one because of the practice of direct deposit paychecks. I remember feeling it was a violation of my rights. I didn't make enough money to hold a bank account and was constantly charged with NSF fees. Sometimes, I didn't have enough to cover the bank fees but the bank charged me anyway and then charged me for the nsf penalty. They would hold my transactions in a holding pattern until that one transaction that put me over the limit, then they would post the transactions, not chronoligically, but by the dollar value so I would end up paying fees for 5 or 6 transaction over the limit instead of the one transaction. Luckily, I am no longer so poor that I have to juggle my expenses, but this ad brought me back to that time. The government has asserted itself in such a way that nothing belongs to you.
Absolutely true.
Me too. So many people don’t realize that is a common practice with many financial institutions. You really have to be careful where you put your money.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL For exaple in Poland personal bank account is (almost) free. Bank only charge you for using a debit card (7PLN = $1.82) and that's it.
Banks and their unregulated fees are highway robbery
@kimwilliams I’m truly touched by your story, because unfortunately it’s just all too common, but sometimes people aren’t able to make it out of the hole no matter what or how far their efforts go! I couldn’t agree with you more and im very happy to read a bit into what you shared on yourself and I’d like to commend you for being fortunate enough to have been able to make your efforts work in your favor and get out the hole so congrats!!!!
Getting your money back is one thing. Suing the abusers, including the DA & the police and their supervisors who went along with this travesty of justice is another thing. These abuses of justice and criminal activities by authorities should not go unpunished.
Getting a land patent on your property protects you from being a victim of civil asset forfeiture, please look into this

Your an asshole. Kill people for a mistake. I’m sure you made mistakes in your past. The family was taken care of. All money returned.
Learn Compassion.
@@johnlyons6544 I agree killing is not the answer. However this was not a simple mistake.This was an abuse of power.If you look at the way it played out that DA used poorly conceived law to try and force someone into a plea bargain after realizing he didn't have a leg to stand on( hence no prosecution). Then when he realized he violated that same law by not filing proper documents in a timely manner he tried a "two step shuffle" and cover it by a last min. ditch effort to file after the deadline and got caught at it. Justice was somewhat served ,however I think maybe he should have been personally held accountable (financially) for the unnecessary interest and credit damage done to the family.
Agreed!!!
Allen Carter - this is more than that . People commit suicide over loss like this , and you think they are “ made whole “ by “ giving their money back with interest “ - ridiculous . What about the psychological damage to all members of the family ? And the loss of business ? They should get millions from that dumb attorney !
Hope they sue the shit out of them .
That is fucking disgusting. My husband is suffering from the aftermath of very serious cancer, for which he received the highest dosages of chemo and radiation therapy that is allowed by law.
