The Real News Hour(Classic 1996) The Illusion Of Freedom [YOwbTMg7ccA]

Revenue Enhancement, Victimless Crimes, Sheriff Department Fines

An anecdote is shared about a property owner whose land was violated by a neighbor's wandering cattle. When the sheriff assessed a fine, the money went to the state as "revenue enhancement" rather than compensating the victim. The hosts use this to illustrate their point that the current legal system is designed to strengthen the state's treasury rather than provide justice for individuals.
