In the good old days, there were checks and balances, rules and laws.

Now we're all going the way of two-bit sheriffs from some down-south state. In cahoots with the politicos and the businesses.

cops could take your stuff if you were arrested, and even cleared of any charges? This type of thing has been going on for years, and should have been stopped the minute it started. But it was a money maker for the cops. So, unconstitutional taking has continued until this day. First, they held it was only stuff "illegally" obtained thru drug money and people were stupid enough to believe them. Then it was highway patrol taking all your money when stopped on their highways.

The night before the family was sent to the camp, the father rang my Grandfathers door and asked if he could leave a chest of family stuff. My Grandfather let him leave the chest in a closet. And forgot about it. 4 years later the neighbor returned and my a grandfather gave him back the chest. The man had put money, jewelry and family photos. When he opened it everything was there untouched and the neighbor cried because all his stuff was there. Though the years they kept in touch and when my grandfather died the man and his family came to the funeral and told this story. This was in 1979 and I had never heard of internment camps.

And I would do the same thing to help someone I knew if they were in the same situation.
