“civil forfeiture,” the bastard progeny of the War on Drugs.

"They said they smelled marijuana on the money," Vera Ward says. "We don't smoke. It's not plausible since my sister and I aren't around it."
I cannot stand marijuana, I find its smell nauseating. But it is legal here in Arizona and half the rest of the country. Money circulates all over the country, too. Lame excuse by the cops.

It’s the only part of the war on drugs that Rat Party Headquarters supports.

A violation of the 4th, 5th, 8th, and 14th Amendments. Hopefully, our conservative Supreme Court will ban civil forfeiture.

No use complaining. Dems are in control and are not going to stop stealing citizens’ money.
Anyone who voted dem is responsible for this.

This is how local police departments all along I-40 make their budget and bonus and as much else as they can cover.
Who knows how much money they confiscate and how much of it actually gets reported?
Terrifying.

Guilty until proven innocent.
Wonder who they pissed off?

I love those youtube videos on airport security and border security.There are some countries that do this at airports...IIRC Britain is one of them and Canada is another.They have dogs trained to sniff currency...and when there's a hit that person is at risk of losing his/her cash.
To: nickcarraway
The sisters had my sympathy before it was mentioned that they were breeding American Bullies. The last thing that anybody needs is more of these dogs. The sisters might not be involved in the drug trade but I’ll bet a lot of their customers are.

Never steal money.
The government hates competition.

I read somewhere that a huge share of circulating currency has been exposed to some drug or other. Certainly not proof these ladies did anything wrong.

That was how the NYPD would help fund their pensions, dunno if they still do it that way.

I doubt they smelled pot, just an excuse.
Back in the 60s & 70s, police would say they could see the outline of a joint in someone’s pants pocket as an excuse to search the person, invariably one of those hippy types. Of course a lot of hippy types would be carrying a joint with them, from what I’ve been told.
Anyway, judges tended to accept the officer’s word as probable cause for the search.

Yes and the per rock of the stupid old man that Donald Trump made Attorney General
