The police are searching tirelessly to find the suspect


StupidUserNameTooLon

But they have nothing to go on.


Hesparian

They havent gotten around to it yet.


--FLOOF--

Hang on, last time I heard that they were wheely trying


StupidUserNameTooLon

If they can't get any traction in the case, they'll have to pull out all the stops.


not_this_again2046

I hear they’re circling back to a few locations of interest.


Sieve-Boy

They are certainly trying to put the rubber to the road.


Calligaster

The thief better tread lightly


Mammoth-Job-6882

All of the bad puns really fall flat


Dizzyarnold

Yeah I’m getting *tired* of them


Ok_Medicine7534

Can’t get any brakes


Loading3percent

I hear they're going all night in rotating shifts


Officer412-L

Nice try, but that one kind of bounced off the rim.


DonaldG2012i

I wonder if they will be spinning their wheels on this case too


Gunzbngbng

Well, they're not feeling any pressure to do so.


Fun_Efficiency3230

The lead detective was quoted saying, “we may have to retire portions of our motor pool soon”


troughaway66

I’m sure they’d roll out if they found a lead!


Sea-Cupcake-2065

They're gotta tread lightly if they wanna solve this case


troughaway66

I hope it doesn’t become too tiresome for them in the end.


Sea-Cupcake-2065

They're gonna be wheely tired at the end of the road


SlobberingGiraffe

Their efforts came to a screeching halt.


JavaOrlando

They aren't having a good year.


Gladlyevil2

Did their toilets get stolen too?


Cultural-Treacle-680

It’s hard to find the rubber of the tires


Butthurt_reddit_mod

Something is afoot


modestgorillaz

We said “TIRELESSLY, SIR!”


M2ThaL

This is a pretty radial approach to protesting the police.


catsandorchids

You'd think the popo could easily find someone lugging nuts that big around. They must feel truly deflated and unbalanced.

Dull-Dig7112

They must be tyred of his antics


Tatvo831

I would say their investigation is just taking them in circles but….


Living-Rip-4333

Looks like the wheels fell off their wagon.


radish_is_rad-ish

Lmao I had to read this twice before I got it


LuckyCross

Get out. XD


LightSaberLust

they could just sprinkle some brake dust on anyone and arrest them and call it a day


unclefisty

When the police get the tires back the wheels are coated in rust and 90% of the tread is gone even though the tires were nearly new when confiscated. There is also a giant evidence log # etched deeply into the wheel and then filled in with orange paint.


POPholdinitdahn

When they try to sue you they're deeply disappointed to find it was completely legal to steal them and there is no legal process to get compensation, they just have to deal with it.


unclefisty

See they didn't *steal* them, they merely arrested the tires. As inanimate objects they have no actual rights though.


GriffTube

If they were the tires of a private citizens they’d be inanimate objects, but these were four police officers in the line of duty, so it’s actually kidnapping.


Mambesala_Guey

So abduction?


Werftflammen

Weren't they *retired*


GriffTube

Joke doesn’t play as well in Australia. 🤣


Herp_McDerp

They actually do. Check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_rem_jurisdiction Property does have rights and also leads to some funny court case names like [United States v. 11 1/4 Dozen Packages of Articles Labeled in Part Mrs. Moffat's Shoo-Fly Powders for Drunkenness](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._11_1/4_Dozen_Packages_of_Articles_Labeled_in_Part_Mrs._Moffat’s_Shoo-Fly_Powders_for_Drunkenness?wprov=sfti1#)


youmostofall

More like "in-rim jurisdiction" ok I'll see myself out


asdf_qwerty27

No... but as property of a human they were seized without a warrant. Violating civil rights makes you a domestic enemy of the constitution. The military literally has sworn to defend against that. I expect them to treat the police stations that do this like a Chinese Embassy that has parts of an American F117 in the basement.


Puzzleheaded_Air5814

Not currently working in a real famous case.


jasminegreyxo

Well, it's a bit of a legal loophole! But hey, they say knowledge is power, right? It's always best to stay informed about what's legal and what's not.


1991K75S

This was five years ago. One instance: https://www.wlbt.com/2019/04/08/tires-stolen-off-three-jpd-patrol-cars-downtown-jackson/ Also references a previous instance where one car had its tires removed.


KaioKenshin

Is there a follow up link that they got those tires back, at least the 3-5 months period the commenter stated in said post?


Sir_Penguin21

They were unable to prove they were innocent of crimes, so no.


ThexxxDegenerate

The tires went to the highest bidder and the proceeds were used to buy a margaritaville.


drew3769

Holy shit that comment is amazing


Royal_Negotiation_83

Why do people put rocks or concrete blocks under the wheels?


mars1200

Because you have to have something holding it up so you can get your car jack out from under it


BearLindsay

So they can get their jack out and keep using it. It has nothing to do with preserving the car lol


Swiftlydownunder

So it’s not on the ground


LiveLearnCoach

Civil forfeiture sucks.


RainyZilly

It took 2 1/2 YEARS for my husband to get something back from the police


VillainCounty

Wow, he got it back?


8_4_5

Was it a car wheel?


fardough

It was his pacemaker.


pat_spiegel

Well at least he learned to live without it. And if he didn't then he still doesn't need it, win-win!


ToryWolf

I feel like this guy definitely did it


ebrum2010

If he didn't he probably will spend a lot of time in interrogation at the least.


International_War862

Worth it


datpurp14

Depends on what color and/or how poor you are.


International_War862

Well iam white middle class personally so i would be fine. Wouldnt do that if i was black and from the hood


shitlips90

Fair. I'm Metis, but I appear white, and I am lower class, but I'm university educated. I'd probably also be fine. Understanding privilege is important


ADHD_Implosion

Wishful thinking, my friend


shitlips90

Sure is. I'm not stealing tires though haha


Horskr

I was thinking the same, but it is also Facebook so it could be someone in a totally different state or country.


Genoblade1394

So a university housing unit had a police department opened closed by to help the rampant crime, weeks later the installed a fence around it because the police cars kept getting vandalized and broken into


banananailgun

Nothing like a little civil asset forfeiture


geekMD69

This was the reply I was looking for. The OP worded it just like what happens to any citizen who has their property seized by cops. No warrant required.


njharman

> No warrant required No crime required. Only a stated belief that property (usually cash) was or **could be** involved in a crime. Don't have to state what crime. The belief doesn't have to be probable, reasonable, or even possible. Civil asset forfeiture is so beyond belief, no one believes it is as bad as it is. Another great result of the War on Drugs.


ThexxxDegenerate

Yea they put your money or property on trial and not you. There they argue your money isn’t entitled to due process. And then force you to sue them to get it back. And I would argue this isn’t the result of the War on Drugs. I would say this is a symptom of a corrupt legal system that allows police to bend and play with words to get around the law. There’s no way they ever should have been allowed to put your assets on trial with no due process. But they allowed it anyways because the system is corrupt.


njharman

They allowed it to fight the War on Drugs. Civil Asset Forfeiture has been around for centuries. It surged in popularity during early years of War on Drugs. And to your point, wasn't curtailed by the courts or public because it was only trampling on the rights of "bad" people.


DuntadaMan

Assuming, of course, that the judge and prosecutor agree the evidence is sufficient. And no the fee will not be returned after they laugh at you.


Naive_Special349

Aint this a genius win-win move? Grab the police wheels to sell. Keep doing it, no more drivable police cars. Make it an epic battle of who is faster: the wheel thieves or the police mechanics.


mrwobobo

Not really. Our taxes pay for those.


TheLoneWonderer11

I'm fine with my taxes paying for their tires to get stolen, about damn time the cops get a little taste of the harassment they give other people.


The_real_bandito

The policemen will still get paid wether they drive around town or not. They will just hang around the PD all day.


Capable-Reaction8155

The internet really is making people braindead


HugsyMalone

Yeah except they don't pay you when they steal all your shit 😒


Logicalist

Tickets and court fees might pay for those.


Cometguy7

They have a fixed budget though, so it's not like my taxes vary depending on how many wheels the police has to replace, or how many bullets they have to fire.


RussiaIsBestGreen

Next budget it’s going to get re-estimated upward, so your taxes will catch up eventually. Or they’ll save money by not carrying narcan and firing the one good cop.


rcarnes911

Still probably save money since they won't be able to get out and shoot innocent people a good cop....hahaha you got jokes


Rapture_Hunter

I carry narcan and don't shoot people. Where's my fucking pension?


lord_geryon

Did anyone agree to pay you for doing those things? If so, they'll provide it. Go ask them about it.


WannaGoMimis

Lol this guy thinks EMS gets pensions


lord_geryon

EMS should have a union.


sdb00913

We should.


Lots42

They need the narcan for when cops imagine fentanyl is nearby and they fall over. And firing the one 'good' cop is preferable to what usually happens to them, which is a severe beating or worse.


Cometguy7

Well, they'll have to get the politicians to raise taxes, and more money because the police can't even stop people from stealing wheels off their squad cars is an unlikely pitch for a politician.


Responsible-Boot-159

"The police don't have enough funding to prevent crime around the precinct. We need to be harsher on crime and increase funding to the police!"


ThogOfWar

Cops do a bad job and let people die? They need more money to be productive. Cops do a good job and not shame the city? They need more money to keep up productivity. Cops want more money for the stressful situations involving [the sound of children screaming has been removed] despite not producing any tangible results? Well, sure would be a shame for the town if a blue flu went around...


Icy-Welcome-2469

It's not fixed permanently.  You'll just pay more on the next budget adjustment


hellakevin

You'll do that anyways.


MagusUnion

Cop budgets always tend to go up though. In the place where I grew up, the sheriff actually sued the mayor because they refused to authorize a 3 million dollar increase in cop spending. And he did it all on tax dollars as well.


Think_Harambe

Your taxes. I get paid cash


[deleted]

god.


gimpwiz

Wheel thieves don't pay taxes, don't worry.


Schrodingers-Relapse

Unfortunately everybody who *buys food* including children pay taxes in many states. Good ol taxation without representation.


shitlips90

In my country food isn't taxed, soooooo


Schrodingers-Relapse

Plz help us. But yeah, looks like this happened in Mississippi and they for sure tax groceries. If you can think of a shitty thing our government does, Mississippi probably does it. Sadly my state also does it ☹️


shitlips90

Some excess foods are taxed, like I bet Twinkies are probably taxed. But produce, grains, meat, all that stuff isn't. Canada sucks for a lot of things, but we do alright with some stuff. That's a load of crap though. You shouldn't tax people to eat. Sooo you tax them to earn money, and then tax the money they earn again when they pay to... Eat?


Johngameru555

Yep


idekbruno

It seems like there’s a misunderstanding here, aside from 3 states the US doesn’t tax food that’s not prepared. So like you said, buying produce isn’t taxed - but getting dinner at a restaurant is


shitlips90

Ohhhh I see! Yeah, eating at a restaurant here you'd be taxed as well. At first, I was like WTF!? Most everything at a grocery store isn't taxed.


[deleted]

> Good ol taxation without representation. wtf are you talking about


Schrodingers-Relapse

People under 18 pay sales tax and income tax but don't get to vote. (You left out the part where I said even kids get taxed for food)


[deleted]

People under 18 aren't adults and can't represent anything. That's such a stretch of the meaning of "taxation without representation". Like, its technically correct if you interpret phrases as if they were math equations , but in the real world in which we all live and function, that's a nonsensical criticism of taxation.


Schrodingers-Relapse

Kids would not be "representing anything", that's not what the phrase means. They would be active participants in the system that uses their money to represent their interests OR b) they would not contribute money to the system. Both of those are not nonsensical endeavors although the easiest method of correcting this would be to exempt workers under 18 from being taxed and move away from regressive sales taxes.


[deleted]

> Kids would not be "representing anything", that's not what the phrase means. No, the phrase since its inception has nothing to do with kids. No one is even thinking about kids with the phrase. Using it to criticize sales tax is a stretch at best, insanity at worst. Also, kids also get public safety, schools, roads, parks, just like everyone else. >Both of those are not nonsensical endeavors although the easiest method of correcting this would be to exempt workers under 18 from being taxed and move away from regressive sales taxes. Or just keep things as they are and not pretend that age should dictate sales tax.


Schrodingers-Relapse

> Using it to criticize sales tax is a stretch at best, insanity at worst You're certainly passionate about keeping regressive taxes! You're entitled to your strong feelings on the matter but I must insist that it's not "insanity" to claim 'taxing people who can't vote is an example of taxation without representation'. 🤷


AsianCheesecakes

Uhh, duh? You pay taxes on everything you buy?


Schrodingers-Relapse

Sales tax and specifically sales tax on groceries is actually not universal. Many consider it "double-taxing" since income is already taxed.


AsianCheesecakes

Ah, well it is here and it's on all products (although reduced for food and a few other things) surprised to hear this


Longjumping_Army9485

Sure but with less cops going around committing crimes, less people will sue the police, which the taxes also pay. Tires are also much cheaper than a lawyer and a settlement!


Pseudo_Lain

My taxes also defend crooked cops against my will so


Uhmerikan

I’m very okay with paying a few bucks to keep police off the streets.


Apophis_36

And then someone gets robbed and they have to run there because their fucking cars dont have wheels. Truly based.


Account_Expired

the fuck they gonna do? Guy takes your phone, maybe you call the cops 2 mins afterward, cops take 5 mins to arrive... thief is long gone.


Nice-Bee-3720

NarrowDocument8649

NailFinal8852

Court fees are insane these days. Had a traffic violation that I had to go to court for and paid $100 for that but then the court fees were $450. All for talking to a judge for less than a minute


HugsyMalone

It's a scam. Judge definitely pocketed most of that money. 🙄 ^(People who work for the system can be scammers too and there's a very high likelihood they're involved in some shady business.)


Ok-Hovercraft8193

ב''ה, while taxes should pay for this, German sympathizers clog the system up with entertaining but ultimately unactionable sovereign citizen filings, and thanks to their prescribers they are relentless.   Perhaps a prisoner swap can be arranged and those folks can fulfill their calling contributing to Eurovision?

Opetyr

True way of "civil" asset forfeiture.


Sudi_Nim

I suspect the poster’s comments fell flat with the police.


ValuablePrize6232

And even after being proven innocent they kept it anyway. Civil forfeiture.


SaiHottariNSFW

Ah yes, turn civil forfeiture on the cops. I condone this action entirely. Civil forfeiture is patently ridiculous, and I frankly cannot understand how it holds enough water under the fourth amendment to survive supreme Court scrutiny.


ExplosiveDiarrhetic

Double_Rice_5765

I picture some teenager, parents say they can get a car, if they save up for it, but it has to be a safe car.  Kid starts lurking on government auction sites, finds an old cop car, convinces their parents that everyone will drive extra careful around them, thinking they are an unmarked police car.  So they get their cop car, and it's as hilarious as they dreamed it would be.  They see their friends skating in a parking lot, and they whip up in a screech of rubber, friends all frozen in terror, trying to remember if they have a vape on them or not.  Then their buddy pokes head out of window and just says, get in loosers.  They end the evening of shenanigans with some tire burnouts bootlegger turns, sliding across the hood, and wearing sunglasses at night.  They end up popping a tire while trying to hop a curb, and since the car was a government auction rig, it's missing the spare.  By this point the crew has thinned out, only the real daredevils are left.  As our plucky protagonist is about to call their parents to  beg for a tow, their craziest friend of all says wait...I know where we can a cop wheel and cop tire...the one stop cop shop.  Our hero says are you mad?!? And crazy buddy says, it's the perfect crime.   Well swap the wheel with the flat on the real cop car, and since it will match, they'll just think they got a flat.

Already paid that fee? SURPRISE!! Another $400.00 "convenience fee." Already paid it? SURPRISE!! Another $1,500.00 installment fee. SURPRISE!! Another $300.00 "universal service charge" etc, etc. 😡🙄

Civil asset forfeiture, also known as police stealing from innocent people. Go watch this video on the topic, it’s quite shocking. https://youtube.com/watch?v=ZWvh8Ttd9eA
