"Who buys a commercial truck for cash?" My son, for one. He & a friend took 25G out of the bank & were heading down the interstate to buy a used truck. Cop pulled 'em over & first words out of his mouth were "where's the money, fellas?" Luckily, they had scads of truck ads, both had CDLs, & he let 'em go. But he could have kept the money, woulda cost them way more than 25g in attorney fees to get it back.
A few years back the Kansas City Star ran a six part series about asset forfeiture and several of the law enforcement agencies that profit handsomely from it. Some agencies even let individual officers keep a portion of the take. Chilling stuff.
