Well, they have thrown out the 4th that is for sure.
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
About 10 years ago an old girlfriend’s son went from NC to TX to help a friend of his with a large repo job and made $3000 in a couple of days, paid in cash.
Driving back home at 2:00am he gets pulled out in the sticks by a deputy for no reason other than having out of state plates.
The money was seized and he was threatened with ‘money laundering and locked up in a po-dunk TX county jail. His mother was put in touch with a local attorney who told her it was real bad and it would take $15,000 to make it go away. She wired the money and the kid was freed.
The cops kept the $3,000. I’m sure the attorney and cops have a racket going on and some of the attorney fee was split with the sheriff.
Dirtbags, all of them.
