This just in
WATE reports that Lawyers say Tennessee’s illegal tax law is ripe for abuse:
Defense lawyers say a new law allowing authorities to tax illegal drugs allows officials to bully people not convicted of crimes into paying thousands of dollars.
Tennessee’s Department of Revenue has collected nearly $400,000 in taxes.
Another $$11 million in taxes have been levied, but not collected because debtors can’t afford it or are in jail, since the law took effect in January.
Wow. That’s a lot of money. The lawyers say the authorities can abuse it. SayUncle said that before the law even passed.
