An Oklahoma state audit reveals a prosecutor used seized asset forfeiture funds to pay off his student loans and another took someone's seized home to live in rent-free for years. From Tulsa World: A 2009 audit of the District Attorney’s Office that represents Beaver, Cimarron, Harper and Texas counties found that a Beaver County assistant district attorney began living rent-free in a house obtained in a 2004 forfeiture. A judge had ordered the house sold at an auction, but the prosecutor lived there through 2009.The IRS can demand you account for every meal you ever deemed a "business expense" and throw you in prison for the flimsiest of reasons, but state prosecutors can use people's stolen money for their personal enrichment without any serious consequences. The audit revealed a host of other property was stolen, including several guns which went "missing." Evidently, police conveniently had no "policies" for keeping track of where all the property they seized went. |
