FORFEITING RIGHTS ALONG WITH CASH

The news that police and state troopers are using "interdiction" 
policies to supplement their budgets is terrifying. Worse still is 
the idea that some officers praise the practice as an ideal 
fundraising tool. But worst of all is the fact that they call it 
"interdiction."

There is a far more appropriate term: highway robbery.
