Actually, it takes the bacon. In Los Angeles, police cracked down on illegal street hot dog (bacon-wrapped!) cart vendors. The LAist captured some pictures here. Most disturbing is that apparently, the police simply destroyed all the carts and all the contents without involving that crazy little creation we have here in the United States called “the justice system.”

They’re probably relying on the operators to not have the money to sue over this, but good lord. Due process? Anybody heard of it? Anybody?

Maybe next they’ll replace the impound lot with a used car dealership and not even wait for the verdicts.
