Re: Unconstitutional Conflict of Interest in Proposed Property Forfeiture
“Our plan..is to have it become the property of the Wolfeboro Police Departmentâ€, Chief Labell is quoted as saying, regarding the home on Treadwell Lane that was reported to have small quantities of marijuana in the Aug. 12 Granite State News.
The chief, who is charged with, and has sworn to, apply the law impartially, has a clear conflict of interest in this case.
For exactly this reason, the experience with property forfeiture during the Salem Witch Trials of 1681, that we have the Fourth and Fifth Amendments of the Bill of Rights, in the Constitution of the United States of America. Chief Labell swore an oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America. He has violated that sacred oath.
He has also violated his Oath to uphold the Constitution of the State of New Hampshire: Everywhere you look in the New Hampshire Bill of Rights, you will see the prohibitions on using arbitrary state power this way. Please see Articles 5, 7, 10, 12, 15, 18, 19, 20 and 33. In particular, I notice that Article 10 states that government is not instituted for “the private interest or emolument of any one man, family, or class of men;†which principle is voided if a class of public officials will benefit from misuse of state power.
Also, by delegating certain aspects to the federal Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms bureau, he violates State Sovereignty, Article 7. Where were alcohol, tobacco or firearms involved here?
Resign, Chief Labell.
