My Girlfriend's 28 year old son was driving to NC from Texas where he'd gone for a 5 day repo job helping a buddy of his.

He got pulled for a burned out tail light, he let the officers search the car when they asked and they found his $3000 cash he was paid for the job.

The car was impounded and torn apart looking for drugs and the money was confiscated. He was arrested for "money laundering" and tossed in jail. One day, $15,000 and one Texas lawyer later the charges were dropped, but the cops still kept his $3000.

The cops in this case were thieves and highway robbers.

"The car was impounded and torn apart looking for drugs and the money was confiscated."

I-10 is notorious for this. Civil asset forfeiture just begs for corruption, and corruption it has brought.

Wow, That would change me for life. I would be fighting the urge for revenge as hard as a fat person fights going into McDonalds.

This is (no) thanks to the "War on Drugs." We are all presumed guilty first, not innocent. The ACLU actually has it right this time.
