There you go.
I don't recall that these guys were pulled over as bank robbery suspects, do you? If so, could you point that out to me, please? Or am I being too insensitive in pointing out your strawman? These folks had THEIR money taken from them, no charges filed, no arrests even made. Only LATER ON, when the sheriff's deputies, who would get to KEEP the money stolen by themselves, participated in some sort of drug task force and conveniently linked the money's actual owners to the druggies. It's way too convenient a co-inkydink for me to swallow at all.
But then, like old LL, you can swallow anything spouting from some LEO.
Nothing new here folks. -- Governments have been prohibiting 'evil objects' since biblical times, -- they then use the decree as an excuse to search & seize any asset even remotely connected to the 'contraband'..
Statists/communitarian's defend the practice as a needed exercise in socialistic morality.
Rational men see it as a forerunner to revolution.
Do you work for the government?
I suspect he does. He's probably some GS-3 (or equivalent) clerk with delusions of adequacy. Maybe his daddy was a WODDIE door-kicker who spanked him once too often.
