“how do we know this money was destined for a church and orphanage?”
How does that change things? They stole his money.
I agree, they stole his money. No drugs were found and no crime, that I can see, was committed. Some of our police and government officials try take as much as they can from the citizens. Lord help us, I am afraid it is only going to get worse.
What business is it of the government's where his money came from or what he planned to use it for? In this society, we don't punish someone unless they have been convicted of a crime.
If he were planning a terrorist attack and these funds were to buy bombs, then he should be tried and convicted on this charge. Then and only then should his funds be confiscated.
