We are living in a time when the due process protections of the Fourth Amendment are more important than ever.
Back in 2012, couple Adam and Jennifer Perry were speeding down an Illinois highway to reach a hearing specialist based in Salt Lake City, Utah who was supposed to treat an ear infection afflicting Adam. Their high speed drew the attention of state troopers, who pulled the couple over.
After a drug dog sniffed the Perry’s car, police searched their vehicle. They turned up empty-handed, with the only thing vaguely resembling the drugs they were looking for being a duffel bag that officers claimed smelled of marijuana.
But they found something else: $107,520 in cash, belonging to the Perrys’.
The officers let them go, but they kept the cash, even though the Perrys’ weren’t charged with a crime or even subject to a search warrant.

Not saying who’s wrong or right…but I can tell you this…I sold a boat and went right to a night deposit box at my credit union and put 18k in cash in the night deposit box…first thing in the morning they called me and wanted to know why I happen to have 18k in cash…ask yourself this…who in their right mind travels with 107K in cash…more often than not if you’re being honest…that money has something to do with something that above board…just saying’
D.o.t. cops are bottom feeding scum! !!!

I support due process. No one should be forced to explain their personal belongings to anyone, unless they were involved in a bank robbery.
Only happens in democratic liberal controlled mafia states
