Take the money and run

" This weekend, The Washington Post published a deeply reported look at "highway interdiction," a controversial tactic that has allowed police to seize hundreds of millions of dollars from motorists without formally charging anyone with a crime. Typically, police will stop a driver under suspicion of drug trafficking, seize their cash as evidence, and refuse to return it without a legal challenge. Only one in six seizures were challenged, typically because of the high cost of legal assistance."

What ? And brag about it on a website !!!

They can have all my cash, but do this to my dogs and I might as well go out in a blaze of glory. Hope that dash cam is running.

Thank God it was 12 years ago and nothing comparable has happened since. Maybe because of video?
