Common Sense Finally Prevails in Russ Caswell’s Civil Forfeiture Nightmare

Published May 11, 2014 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Civil Forfeiture, Constitutional Violations, Guns, Justice System Abuses, Police Corruption, Property Rights


Russ Caswell, now 70, spent the last two years fighting local, state and federal agencies over who owns Motel Caswell, the motel owned by his family since 1955. I first wrote about Russ Caswell and his civil asset forfeiture nightmare on July 1, 2012 when his case broke internationally. From that article: It is now, like many older motels across the nation, home to … [Read more...]

Must be nice to be a Corrupt Toronto Cop at Sentencing Time

Published January 8, 2013 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Podcasts, Police Corruption, Police Misconduct, Police Sentencing Double-Standards


I truly get sick of seeing corrupt policemen, instead of receiving prison time for their crimes, be rewarded for them instead by our asinine justice system. Clearly judges in Ontario are taking lessons in stupidity from B.C. Supreme Court Judge Janice Dillon, who sentenced former RCMP Corporal Monty Robinson to a whopping 30 days of house arrest for obstruction of justice … [Read more...]

Russ Caswell’s Civil Forfeiture Nightmare

Published July 1, 2012 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Civil Forfeiture, Constitutional Violations, Police Corruption, Property Rights


Russ Caswell is 68 years old.  He has not been charged with a crime, yet the Tewksbury, Massachusetts, Police Department is using civil forfeiture laws to steal both his livelihood and his retirement estate. Russ Caswell owns and operates his family-owned motel called, oddly enough, the Motel Caswell.  It’s not the Ritz but that’s to be expected given the motel was built by … [Read more...]

We gun owners shouldn’t feel singled out. Sometimes cops don’t trust each other either…

Published March 5, 2011 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Police Misconduct


Chicago.  One of the primary homes of U.S. anti-gun zealots like [moron] Mayor Daley.  It's also the home of Chicago police detective Vincent Humphrey.  The case dates back to October 2009, when Humphrey was outside his home with a few other people. They were approached by members of Chicago's tactical squad.  Humphrey identified himself  as a police officer, but didn't show … [Read more...]

Corrupt Cop Arrested in FBI Sting Operation

Published November 25, 2010 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Police Misconduct


The Chicago suburb of Maywood is less one corrupt cop today after an FBI sting operation caught Robert M. Welch stealing money from alleged gang suspects. Welsh was one of the tactical officers that focused on suppressing gang activity.  He came to the FBI's attention after previous search suspects claimed that Welsh had stolen from them. His downfall was taking money … [Read more...]

RCMPWatch.com – What a great idea

Published November 8, 2010 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Police Misconduct


In one of my meanderings around the web I came across the site RCMPWatch.com. The site lists news stories and various reports on the actions of RCMP members, and on the force as a whole, and the site owner has done a very comprehensive job. He's got a very detailed list of categories too, which I found impressive. Here's the blurb from their "About" page, for those … [Read more...]

100 Guns Stolen from Police Armoury

Published October 29, 2010 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Police Misconduct


But only the police and military should have guns, right? Except the police can't even trust themselves, according to this story on the Latin American Herald Tribune, where some very organized criminals broke into the police armoury and stole over 100 firearms. Puerto Rico’s police chief, Jose Figueroa Sancha said it was an inside job. "“I have no doubt that it’s an … [Read more...]

Steal Ammunition From RCMP, do NOT go to Jail

Published August 25, 2010 by Christopher di Armani Filed Under: Abuse of Police Authority, Police, Police Misconduct, RCMP Hall of Shame


Imagine this scenario.  You retired from the RCMP after 29 years of service with the rank of Staff Sergeant.  You returned as a civilian firearms trainer at the RCMP Regina Depot facility. You have full access to the RCMP's ammunition and firearms lockups. You steal ammunition and take it home.  You get caught. You get charged with the crime. But do yo do the time? Not if … [Read more...]
